Mouthguard Instructions
Taking care of your mouth guard is essential to ensure it remains effective and hygienic.
Here’s a simple guide to help you:
Rinse Immediately
Clean Regularly
Clean your mouth guard regularly with a toothbrush and toothpaste or a mouth guard cleaner. Avoid using hot water as it can warp the material.
Dry Thoroughly
Let the mouth guard air dry completely before storing it. Moisture can lead to bacterial growth.
Store Properly
Avoid Heat
Keep the mouth guard away from hot surfaces and direct sunlight, as heat can cause it to lose its shape.
Check for Damage
Regularly inspect your mouth guard for any signs of wear or damage. If it’s cracked or doesn’t fit properly, replace it.
Avoid Sharing
Never share your mouth guard with others, as it can spread bacteria and lead to infections.
