Rinse mouthguard after every use and keep in mouthguard box provided. Names and numbers can also be place in the mouthguards if needed. |
Teeth are kept safe during sport. A mouthguard can reduce the risk of concussion and protects the jaw. | If kids have decisious teeth mouthguards don’t last very long as the mouth is changing rapidly. Mostly you should get a year or two out of it if looked after well. |
