TIPS ON CARING FOR A MOUTHGUARD
- Mouthguards can be rinsed with cold water or with a mouth rinse before and after each use and/or clean it with toothpaste and a toothbrush
- Occasionally clean the mouthguard in cool, soapy water and rinse it thoroughly
- Place the mouth guard in a firm, perforated container to store or transport it, this permits air circulation and helps to prevent damage
- Protect the mouthguard from high temperatures - such as hot water, hot surfaces, or direct sunlight to minimise distorting its shape
- Occasionally check the mouthguard for general wear, if you find holes or tears in it or if it becomes loose or causes discomfort, replace it
- Bring the mouth guard to each regularly scheduled dental visit to have your dentist exam it
