• After you have used your custom-made mouthguard, be sure to rinse it thoroughly in soap and warm (not hot) water then allow it to air-dry (before you put it back in your case).
• When not in use (or drying) keep your custom-made mouthguard in it's case to avoid contamination and loosing it.
• Use mouthwash occassionally (every 5-6 time you use it) to wash and distinfect your cutstom-made mouthguard.
• Ensure that you keep your mouthguard in a well-ventilated plastic storage box when not in use. Your Complete Denture Care mouthguard comes with a complimentary storage box.
• Replace adult’s mouthguard after dental treatment or tooth loss - if you don't experience this, your mouthguard will last for years.
• Childrens mouthguard - Needs to be replaced every 12 to 18 months as growth and new teeth will alter the fit.
• Never leave the mouthguard in direct sunlight - Heat will damage it.
• Never leave your mouthguard in a closed car or in the car’s glove box - Heat will damage it.
