Is it safe to use those denture cleaner tablets on a night guard? my dentist told me to brush my night guard to clean it, but i don't think it's really getting that clean. would those denture tablet things work to clean it?

You : You dentist knows the exact material that you guard is made from so he/she needs to give the final approval but in general the answer is yes!-the tablets can be helful.

Many : Many dental offices are equipted with an ultrasonic cleaning machine that uses a solution that is designed to remove stains that occur on dental appliances. If your dentist has one they may run your nightgaurd through as a courtesy for little or no charge.

Yes and no: Depend to the type of the night guard they made you. The best thing to use is tiny-tiny dish soap with tooth brush under tap water. Make sure rise it very good after.

Be careful: If it is a hard bite guard then you can use denture cleaners. If it is a hard night guard with a soft inner lining (hard/soft) guard then dentures cleaners will cause it to cloud up and ruin the inner soft lining over time.
