New to karate - What gumshield?

Concrats garrym, and welcome to karate!

Even after you get your dental fitted mouth piece, you may want to fit a new shock doc mouth piece as a back up. I keep my shock doc, an uppers only piece, and a dental fitted upper/lower piece as well. I can't talk around a double mouth piece enough to teach, so I usually have it in unless we're sparring heavily.

I am having dental work done in the next few months and my dentist has offered to make me one and a replacement for £50 once that is done.

You can get fitted mouthguards free on the NHS... at least under 18s can definately get them (me and my sister both do). I'm not so sure about adults but maybe talk to the dentist before you pay out?
