Don't you hate when you are running over to grab your mouthguard from your case and get a lingering whiff of something smelly? Yeah, we do too. Chances are if you are able to smell your mouthguard other people are able to as well. At Impact, we want to protect your teeth and save you from the second-hand embarrassment that comes along with having a smelly mouthguard, night guard, or any other oral device. In this post, we will discuss how to keep your mouth guards away from smelling like last night's training session!
Cleaning your mouthguard is a straightforward process that many overlook. We have fallen victim to this at times but have recently picked up a routine that makes sure we do not use a dirty mouthguard.
Deep clean your mouthguard as much as possible.
It is never fun when you pull your guard out of the case and smell last night's training session's dried-up saliva. When using the custom mouthguard, it's super easy for bacteria to build up and cause your guard to smell if you do not properly rinse after use.
Mouth guard care starts with a simple 5-minute process once you get home from your training sessions. Let's jump in!
Immediately after you use your guard do your best to find the nearest sink to rinse off the guard to get all leftover saliva that may have been trapped on the guard.
The last thing you want to do is to be known as the person with bad breath. For some sports, you may not find yourself all up, close, and personal for people to actually smell it but for sports like jiu-jitsu,MMA, and maybe even basketball it's easy to notice when someone does not have that proper care routine down.
The first step to the deep clean routine that you need to implement for your guard starts you a proper rinse. This can be down on the field, court, mats or where ever you really are after a practice, its probably that you did not carry a toothbrush in a public setting so in the privacy of your how here is how you can get a deeper clean.
This four-step process is a pretty self-explanatory method to keeping your guard clean and removing bacteria that can build up. Proper care starts with cleaning methods like the one above.
A dirty mouthguard is the best way for bacteria to foster and cause your mouthguard to smell awful. We have been there before and forget to do this a couple of times and vowed to never let it happen again!
A clean mouthguard is just a better way to train.
Mouthguards from Impact were meant to protect your teeth and it would not be doing yourself justice if you allowed your teeth to be exposed to the bacteria built up from a dirty mouthguard.
Going with the custom guard from our store is already an investment in the protection of your teeth, the simple process of soaking your guard in water and brushing it before your next wear is something everyone can do!
