I have only had mine a week and despite thorough cleaning it smells like dog poo, not good when you have to put it in your mouth. Is this normal? I'm now worried about the effect on my teeth, although it is to protect them from grinding. I wonder if it's worth it.

Every morning I brush and rinse my mouth guard with toothpaste and water. I dry it and then coat it with coconut oil which has anti-fungal, antibacterial and ant-viral properties. It has zero smell and the coconut oil helps reduce strep counts. I keep the coconut oil in my mouth guard while I use it at night.
As you age your teeth will become more brittle and worn down. If you clench or grind your teeth, you will speed this process up and your teeth will start to crack. If you want to avoid costly dental appointments and keep your teeth past age 40, wear your mouth guard!
