Taking Care Of Your Mouth Guard

Similar to dental appliances, maintain your mouth guard by storing it correctly, keeping it clean, and knowing when to replace it. Here are some tips to ensure its care:

  • Gently scrub your mouth guard after each use with a toothbrush and toothpaste.
  • Store your mouth guard in a protective case.
  • Do not leave your mouth guard in the sun or in hot water; it may melt or become deformed.
  • Replace your mouth guard every sports season or when it’s worn and fits poorly.
  • Don’t use a retainer with your mouth guard. If you have braces, your dentist can design a suitable mouth guard for protection.
  • Do not chew on or cut pieces off of your mouth guard.
  • Bring your mouth guard to each dental checkup, and your dentist can check to make sure it’s still in good shape.
