Key Takeaways

  1. Keeping your night guard clean is important. Not all contaminants are visible to the naked eye. But whether you can see them or not, the key is to get rid of them by taking care of your night guard regularly.
  2. Night guard cleaning isn’t hard. In most cases, it’s identical to brushing your teeth, but it has to be done just as regularly. So establishing a method and routine is crucial.
  3. Care is also important. This includes how and where you store it, avoiding high temperatures and direct sunlight, and keeping it out of reach of pets and children.
  4. Your night guard will need to be replaced eventually. No matter how well you care for your night guard, it won’t last forever. So consult with your dentist to make sure you replace it when it’s time.
