FREE POSTAGE ON THIS GUM SHIELD

When taking part in contact sports, wearing a gum shield can help protect against injury to the mouth and jaw. Different sports involve different levels of risk and potential injury therefore it is essential to select a gum shield that will offer you protection, fit comfortably and will stay in place. However it is important to remember that no gum shield will completely eliminate the risk of injury, but this risk is significantly reduced from not wearing one at all.

How to Form your Adult or Junior Game Guard Gum shield:
Warning: Boiling water, minors must be supervised at all times.
- Fill a suitable container with boiling water and allow to cool for 30 seconds
- Place the gum shield in the water for 40 seconds. Do not exceed this time. Remove with a suitable utensil
- The gum shield should look and feel soft and pliable. If not replace the gum shield in the water for a further 10 seconds. Please note: if the water has cooled too much then the gum shield will not get soft enough to mould, if you are not having any success start again with freshly boiled water.
- Before moulding allow the gum shield to cool to a suitable level. Carefully place the gum shield around the upper teeth, bite down firmly, while sucking in strongly, and use your fingers to press the edges of the gum shield into your teeth and gums. Continue this process for 30 seconds.
- Remove the gum shield and cool under a running cold tap for 1 minute. The gum shield must be cold before replacing in the mouth.
- Replace the gum shield into the mouth and test for fit and retention. The gum shield should not fall out of its own accord, and should feel comfortable; if this is not the case then the above steps can be repeated.
