harder on your teeth. As a matter of fact, two

than other alcohol-free, daily use mouthwashes.

Alkalinity (Acid reducing)
Drinking and swishing your mouth can have some
dental benefits, too.  Water has a cleansing
effect inside the mouth.  It washes away
debris, just like saliva. But because a lot of
the germs in the mouth and the foods we eat are
acidic, this Essentia water is great to counter
act the acid and increase the pH inside the
mouth. This product can be found at Whole Foods.
Producing High Alkaline, Anti-Oxidant,
Restructured, Super-Hydrating Water Not
complicated at all just pour yourself a glass of
Alkaline Water. Its a simple and convenient
method to purify and add alkalinity to your
water. This product can be found online at

Instructions Use approximately 16 inches of
dental floss. Pull 4 to 5 inches of floss through
the loop of the threader. Pass floss threader
through space between teeth or under appliance.
Remove floss from floss threader and begin normal
flossing. Use with your preferred dental floss.
The angle easily reaches back teeth, the thin
silky floss slides comfortably between tight
teeth and sensitive gums, and the textured pick
deep cleans between teeth.
The GUM Soft-Picks Teeth Cleaners gently massage
and stimulate the gums for long-term health. The
GUM soft picks can also be used to remove food
particles stuck between your teeth.
The picks reach spaces between teeth, bridges,
crowns, implants, and braces. The pick promotes
uniform blood circulation, which keeps your gums
healthy. The soft dental floss is a good way to
prevent against gingivitis, as it helps remove
the plaque that causes the pockets to form along
the gum line.

The occlusal guard will allow your jaw joints and
muscles to function more smoothly. It will allow
the jaw to find its best position because the
guard prevents the teeth from locking together.
It should reduce muscle spasm, clenching habits,
jaw/joint pain, teeth wear, and cracked teeth.
Wear the occlusal guard as instructed, which is
usually during sleep. You may have been advised
to wear it during the day also, especially when
you are tense and find yourself clenching and
grinding.  When placing the Thermofit occlusal
guard, soak it in hot tap water (not boiling) for
about 30 seconds, place it in the mouth and bite
firmly to seat it.  This process can be repeated
until the fit and bite are comfortable. Excess
saliva may be present for a few days. You may
find you have removed your guard during the
night. Do not worry about this. Place it in your
mouth again the next night. It may take a couple
of weeks before you adjust to wearing the guard.
When the occlusal guard is removed from the
mouth, you may notice that the "bite" of your
teeth feels different for a few minutes. This is
to be expected because of the relaxation of your
lower jaw muscles. After a few days, you should
have less difficulty in speaking. Remember, any
difference in your speech is magnified in your
own ears, but is not as noticeable to others. Do
not clench your teeth on the occlusal guard
because this will cause muscle spasms or pain.
Remember this phrase "From these words never
depart, lips together, teeth apart." Your teeth
should be apart when the guard is out also,
unless you are chewing food.
It's very easy to maintain your new  Thermofit
occlusal guard. Remove your guard in the morning
and then rinse it in cold water.  Clean the
outside very lightly with a toothbrush and
toothpaste.  Do not brush the soft inside.  You
may soak it in a denture cleaner as needed.  Do
not use alcohol or alcohol-based products. Never
boil your occlusal guard.  Good tooth brushing
and flossing of your own teeth is also very
important. 
Use your storage case to store your occlusal
guard. You can store it dry.  Do not store it in
alcohol or alcohol-based products. Many
mouthwashes contain alcohol so please read label
carefully! Keep your regular check-up
appointments and remember to bring your guard
with you. They are necessary for adjusting and
refitting the occlusal guard. If you are having
jaw pain, avoid eating tough and chewy foods
while your TM joints, ligaments and muscles are
healing. When you experience pain, apply moist
heat to the affected area of the face. Use a damp
washcloth under a hot water bottle for 15 to 20
minutes, 3 to 4 times a day. Sipping on hot
liquid, such as tea, and rolling them around in
your mouth may provide comfort.
