Here's how to swap to non-toxic mouth guards:
What to know about mouth guards
Mouth guards sit directly against your teeth and gums for extended periods, often overnight. That prolonged contact means the materials they're made from really matter. Welpr looks at what the guard is made of, and whether the ingredients are safe enough to have in your mouth for hours at a time.
- Many conventional mouth guards contain synthetic softeners, artificial dyes, or undisclosed ingredient blends that sit against oral tissue for hours.
- Because mouth guards are used frequently and have direct contact with your mouth, they're a high-priority item in Welpr's risk framework.
Check your current mouth guard
Look at the packaging or product listing for your current mouth guard and see if the materials are clearly disclosed. Welpr values full transparency, so if a product doesn't tell you what it's made from, that's worth noting.
- Check whether the product lists its materials as food-grade, BPA-free, latex-free, and free from artificial dyes or flavors.
- If the packaging says nothing about what the guard is made of or uses vague terms like "proprietary blend," consider replacing it with a more transparent option.
Use your current mouth guard more safely
If you're not ready to replace your mouth guard right away, a few simple habits can help. Keeping it clean and well-maintained reduces buildup and keeps it in better shape between uses.
- Rinse your mouth guard thoroughly with water before and after each use, and clean it regularly with a simple baking soda and water solution instead of chemical-based tablets.
- Store it in a ventilated case rather than a sealed container to prevent bacterial growth and odor.
Choose a cleaner mouth guard
Look for mouth guards made from food-grade, non-toxic materials with full ingredient transparency. The best options skip artificial dyes, artificial flavors, BPA, latex, and PVC.
- Choose guards that are clear or naturally colored and made by brands that disclose every material used.
