Why and How to Use a Gum Shield
Dental injuries are amongst the most commonly reported in the world of sports, and particularly combat sports like MMA and boxing. This is one of those cases where the tiny investment into suitable preventative, protective equipment is completely insignificant compared to the costly and lengthy ordeal of treatment. Made4Fighters offers outstanding mouth guards and gum shields for adults and children, in a large variety of colours and designs to match your personal preferences.
Our Best Gum Shield Care Tips
Hey, fight fans! Let's chat about keeping your gum shield in fighting shape. Think of your mouth guard as your smile's best buddy in the ring – you wouldn't want to leave it dirty, right? Give it a good scrub after every round, using a toothbrush or a rinse made just for the job. A quick rinse under the tap? That's not gonna cut it for a true warrior's gear.
Keeping it clean is one thing, but keeping an eye out for the battle scars on your guard is another. If you spot cracks or feel any rough spots, it's time to bid that guard farewell and gear up with a new one. Those little imperfections aren't just a nuisance; they're VIP passes for germs looking to crash the party.
And when you're not throwing punches, tuck your mouth guard into its case like a champ. It's the best way to make sure it stays in top-notch condition for your next bout. Remember, a well-cared-for gum shield means you're always ready to face whatever (or whoever) comes at you next!
