Flavored Mouthguards And How To Add Flavor To Any Mouthguard

The primary function of a mouthguard is to protect an athletes teeth and root structure from an unexpected blow. Because of the protection mouthguards provide , most athletes tolerate the unpleasant experience of wearing some mouthguards. Let's face it, the experience of wearing some mouthguards can be unpleasant. Compared to the alternative, like fracturing a tooth, fracturing your jaw, cutting your lip or even sustaining a concussion, wearing a mouthguard is better than not wearing a mouthguard at all.

Over time, your mouthguard may develop an odd taste with constant usage. A mouthguard can also have the taste of plastic at first. Fortunately there is something you can do, starting from the time you initially fit your mouthguard. You can either add the flavor yourself when you boil-and-bite your mouthguard, by using mouthguard sprays, or you can buy a mouthguard that already comes flavor infused.

Recent technology and new advances with boil-and-bite mouthguards has brought flavored mouthguards to the market. These types of mouthguards have flavor impregnated directly into the mouthguard.

Flavored mouthguards came onto the market about 10 years ago and have been very popular with youth athletes. MoGo flavored mouthguards were the first, fully flavored mouthguard on the market. The Flavor is made from all-natural ingredients, is FDA compliant and BPA free. Since then, several other mouthguard companies have come out with their own version of the flavored mouthguard.

The majority of athletes on the planet are actually youth athletes. There is an estimated ted 50 million in the United States alone. This new twist of adding flavor to a mouthguard may have given youth athletes an incentive to wear and actually keep the mouthguard in their mouth. I question if athletes will experience any unnecessary drooling or chew excessively on their mouthguard due to the flavoring of the mouthguard.

If you already have a mouthguard that you have already fitted or have tried flavored mouthguards like MoGo (which I don't recommend) and weren't happy with your experience, you can actually add flavor yourself to your favorite mouthguard. The process of adding flavor to your mouthguard starts by adding the flavor of your choice to water when you are boiling the water to soften the mouthguard just before fitting. Mouthguards are porous, the flavor that you choose will penetrate the tiny holes in the mouthguard.
