Reply With QuoteMy son wears them for football, he usually has four or five mouth pieces ready for the season. After a game he'll wash the mouth piece and put it in a ziplock, then before the game he'll wash it again. I've never heard of anyone getting a bacterial infection, but I could see how you could if they aren't properly taken cared for.

MAX. Q

"Roughly one minute after the space shuttle launches, it must withstand a condition of extreme force known as Max Q. Mission success demands that all systems perform at the highest level.
In life, Max Q demands the same commitment to success. It requires choosing greatness, personally as well as professionally. It depends on balance, passion and courage and the wisdom gained from adversity. It is an outcome as well as an attitude."

I wear one for hockey but I don't clean it that often and I have never had a problem.

They're just plastic. You could dip it in listerine or something before use ... but I say don't even think about it.
I had the same mouth guard for like 2 years in hockey ... no probs ...

I never thought about it either. I used the same one for a few years, and don't ever remember washing it, but I probably rinsed it a few times.

You'd stand more of a chance getting an infection from muff diving than you would from playing basketball! Not that I would condone such behavior.

i would have to agree with both these statements. ive had mud and dirt and grass and shit in them and left them in a damp football locker room over night. in 3 years of football ive never actually washed a mouthgard, maybe rinsed off like what freeman said with a hose at breaks but thats it. and i would also condone muff diving!back for the first time....
