How to Keep Mouth Guards Clean

With the high-stress world that we live in, a lot of us are wearing some sort of mouth guard. Whether it’s a night-guard or a day-guard, there are some important things you need to know about keeping it clean.

• You need to brush the guard daily.
• Rinse immediately after wearing.
• Keep away from animals. (It’s your dog’s favorite chew toy)
•  Store in your case.
• Keep your case clean! Bacteria can harbor inside your case, leaving bacteria on your guard.
• Bring your guard to your 6 mo. follow-up for deep cleaning provided by your office.
