Teeth-saving sports gear
A gum shield is a protective mouthpiece worn during contact sports to cushion the teeth and gums from impact.
Athletes in boxing, rugby, hockey, and similar sports wear them to prevent dental injuries and reduce concussion risk.
Also called a mouthguard: He forgot his gum shield and had to sit out the match.
