Gumshield
A moulded rubber guard worn over the teeth and gums to protect against dental injury and reduce the risk of concussion. Also known as a mouthguard. Every boxer must wear a properly fitted gumshield during sparring and competition. Custom-fitted gumshields offer superior protection compared to off-the-shelf versions.
