Athletic equipment including mouthguards are a very good "host" for bacterial growth because of the plastics used in their construction. For example, bacteria can get trapped in crevices and pores of the material and, if the mouthguard is not cleaned and dried properly, the germs can flourish, multiplying en masse. Every time the mouthguard is placed back in your mouth, you are adding heat and moisture, two ingredients that help in furthering bacterial growth.
We brought two separate samples of used mouthguards to a Microbiological Lab and under two independent studies and analysis, the reports came back showing very high concentrations of Organic Bacteria. To be frank, totally unacceptable levels. The amount of organic bacteria found on both mouthguard samples extremely exceeded basic drinking water standards. One sample was 8 times higher and the other was an astounding 20 times higher than drinking water standards. Think of that bacteria filled mouthguard in your mouth when you are drinking water or simply swallowing your own saliva? We furthered our study and cleaned the mouthguard using our Fresh One™ Antibacterial Mouthguard Cleaning System. The results were amazing compared with the first tests! The new samples showed a dramatic reduction in levels of organic bacteria - well within the "Drinking Water Standards" set forth by government regulations. We believe our slogan, puts it very straight forward and right to the point for the consumer; "If you are wearing a mouthguard you should be cleaning it!"
