Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about custom mouth guards
Custom mouth guards from Plainsboro Family Dentistry are made from an impression of your teeth, ensuring a perfect fit. They're more comfortable, provide better protection, and stay in place better than over-the-counter options. Custom guards are also more durable and last longer.
Rinse your mouth guard with cool water before and after each use. Clean it regularly with a toothbrush and mild soap. Store it in a ventilated container to prevent bacteria growth. Avoid exposing it to high temperatures, which can warp the material. Bring it to your dental checkups for inspection.
With proper care, a custom mouth guard can last several years. Sports guards may need replacement more frequently due to wear from impact. Night guards for teeth grinding typically last 1-5 years depending on the severity of grinding. We'll check your mouth guard at regular dental visits and recommend replacement when needed.
