Night Guards Post-Op Instructions
Thank you for trusting us with your custom night guard. To ensure its longevity and effectiveness, please follow these post-operative care instructions carefully:

1. Wearing Your Night Guard

• Wear your night guard as instructed by your dentist, typically during sleep.
• If you experience discomfort or find it difficult to adapt, wear it for short periods during the day to help your mouth adjust.
• Contact our office if any sharp edges or tightness cause pain.

2. Cleaning Your Night Guard

• Rinse your night guard thoroughly with lukewarm water before and after each use.
• Use a soft toothbrush with mild soap or a non-abrasive denture cleaner to gently scrub it.
• Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the material.

3. Storing Your Night Guard

• Always store your night guard in the provided case when not in use.
• Keep the case clean and dry to prevent bacteria buildup.
• Do not expose the night guard to direct sunlight or heat, as it can alter its shape.

4. Monitoring for Wear and Tear

• Inspect your night guard regularly for cracks, holes or other signs of wear.
• Bring it with you to your dental appointments so we can assess its condition.

5. Maintaining Oral Hygiene

• Brush and floss your teeth before wearing your night guard to reduce plaque buildup.
• Never wear the guard without thoroughly cleaning your teeth first.

6. When to Contact Us

• If you notice your night guard feels loose, uncomfortable or damaged, schedule an appointment with us.
• Regular adjustments may be necessary to ensure a proper fit over time.

Proper care and maintenance will help extend the life of your night guard and protect your teeth effectively. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to our office. We are here to help!
