What types of dental mouthguards exist?
There are primarily three types of dental mouthguards: stock mouthguards, which are pre-formed and ready to wear; boil-and-bite mouthguards, which offer a better fit as they can be softened in hot water and then shaped around the teeth; and custom-made mouthguards, which are designed and constructed by a dentist for a perfect fit and optimal protection.

Why are mouthguards important for athletes?
Mouthguards are vital for athletes because they protect against tooth fractures, dislocations, and soft tissue injuries by cushioning blows that might otherwise cause severe dental injuries. They are an essential piece of protective gear in contact sports.

How do you clean a mouthguard or night guard?
To clean a mouthguard or night guard, rinse it with cold water after each use and brush it with a toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste. For deeper cleaning, occasionally soak it in a denture cleaner or a mixture of cool water and mild soap. Always let the guard dry completely before storing it in a ventilated case to prevent bacterial growth.
