How do I care for my night guard?Updated 11 days ago
Establish a daily routine to keep your night guard in good condition. After each use, rinse your night guard with cool water to remove saliva and debris. Avoid hot water, as it can alter the shape and affect the fit of your night guard. Gently clean it with a soft brush and mild soap—toothpaste is too abrasive and can damage it.
Dental device cleaning tablets and ultrasonic sanitizers work well for deep cleaning. Be sure to place the night guard on a clean surface and allow it to air dry completely to prevent the rapid growth of bacteria. Once dry, store your night guard in a ventilated case away from pets and high temperatures. Regularly check for wear or damage; consult your dentist if you have any concerns.
