Sports Gum Shields in Alfreton
Ditch the fiddly boil and bite gum shields and say hello to our custom-made sports mouthguards. Perfect for children going back to school, with a range of fun patterns and colours to choose from, including stripes, flags, marble, glitter and more.
A mouthguard is a specially made, rubber-like cover that fits exactly over your teeth and gums, cushioning them and protecting them from damage caused by impacts during contact sport.
Why choose Glendair for sports mouthguards?
We take accurate impressions of your mouth to make sure your mouthguard fits precisely and offers the best possible protection. With a wide range of colours and patterns to choose from, your mouthguard can be just as fun as it is functional, and our friendly team can usually get new patients started with impressions on the same day.
What to expect from your mouthguard fitting
For new patients, we start with an initial assessment, and all being well we can take your impressions the very same day.
For existing patients, we can get your mouthguard ready in two appointments - a short appointment to take your impressions, followed by a second appointment around two weeks later to fit them.

When would I need to wear a mouthguard?
It is important to wear a professionally made mouthguard whenever you play sport that involves physical contact or moving objects. This includes cricket, hockey and football, which can cause broken and damaged teeth, and American football, boxing and rugby, which can all cause broken or dislocated jaws.
How do mouthguards protect my teeth?
Gum shields work by absorbing and distributing the force of an impact. We take accurate impressions of your mouth to optimise this effect, and there is a wide selection of colours and patterns to choose from.
