No gumshield - No play!

Please note that the policy at Montrose Junior Rugby is that all players need to have a gumshield for both training and matches. The gumshield has to be worn for anything involving contact, not just kept in your pocket! While a gumshield may feel strange to start with, it is as important as a pair of boots. As well as protecting your teeth, gumshields can help limit concussion.

You may want to consider a dentist-fitted gumshield. However, if you are still losing teeth and you are growing, a well-fitted 'boil and fit' gumshield may be enough. We have basic ones at the club or you can buy a junior or adult gumshields, such as Shock Doctor, from the sports shop on Murray Street or Argos.

If you want to find out more about gumshileds, please speak to your dentist.
