Do you ever wake up with a dry mouth?

*Dry mouth occurs when your mouth doesn't produce enough saliva.
*Saliva helps wash away food particles and neutralize acids.
*It protects teeth from decay and helps prevent bad breath.
*Dry mouth can make it harder to chew, swallow, or speak.

Symptoms:
✅ Sticky or dry feeling in the mouth
✅ Frequent thirst

How to Clean Your Night Guard (The Right Way!) 🦷✨

Keeping your night guard clean is key to protecting your smile and your health. Here’s how to do it properly:

✔ Rinse after every use
Use cool or lukewarm water to rinse away saliva and debris as soon as you take it out.

✔ Gently brush it (no toothpaste!)
Use a soft toothbrush with mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner.

🚫 Skip the toothpaste
Most toothpastes contain abrasives that can scratch your night guard. Those tiny scratches create the perfect place for bacteria to hide—leading to buildup and unpleasant odors over time.

✔ Let it dry completely
Air dry your night guard before storing it in its case to prevent moisture and bacteria growth.

✔ Deep clean regularly
Use a recommended cleaner such as polident, vinegar or hydrogen peroxide.

A little daily care goes a long way in keeping your night guard clean, comfortable, and odor-free!
