Maintaining Your Mouthguard
A mouthguard should be just as important as a helmet or shin guards when it comes to sports. Once you have a mouthguard to protect your teeth, you need to also maintain it too. It’s important not to chew on the mouthguard because it can weaken the material and make it less effective. Your mouth guard should not have any sharp edges and should be comfortable for you to wear. If there is any damage to your mouthguard, report it to your dentist so that they can have it fixed or replaced. After wearing your mouthguard, it is also important to take the time to clean it. Don’t let bacteria settle or grow on it. Make sure to store it in it’s container until the next use.
