*Rodents get into childrens mouthguards*

Parents could find themselves disgusted when they clean out their childrens school bags. A recent report conducted to identify the hygiene regimes of children and their sporting mouthguards - the *Zeltek Parents Survey* (Survey carried out on 1000 parents by Pure Profile, August 2009) revealed that parents are finding mouldy sandwiches, rotten fruit, dirty mouthguards and some unearthed even more confronting items such as snails, mice, frogs and even condoms.

Even more alarming is that the childs dirty mouthguard may be less hygienic to put in the mouth than the mouldy sandwich.

Mouthguards are a breeding ground for bacterial growth as bacteria can get trapped in the crevices and pores if it is not cleaned properly.

The *Zeltek Parents Survey* (Survey carried out on 1000 parents by Pure Profile, August 2009) captured data from 1000 parents nationally with children aged 8 14 years and revealed that only 13 per cent of children correctly clean their sports mouthguard.

The *Zeltek Parents Survey* also revealed that *over 60 per cent of parents* place the responsibility of cleaning the mouthguard on their child and *47 per cent* of parents revealed that their children simply rinsed their mouthguard under a tap to clean it.

Research among 34 health care professionals (Qualitative Survey carried out on 34 Oral healthcare professionals, August 2009) reinforced the importance of cleaning a mouthguard after use as bad bacteria can enter the blood stream from the mouth and cause infection especially for people with gum or tooth diseases.

The good news is that a local Australian company have introduced an anti-bacterial mouthguard cleaning tablet. The kids simply place their mouthguard in a glass of water with a *Zeltek* dissolvable tablet, then rinse, dry and store it.

Zeltek Antibacterial Cleaning Tablets come in a box of 24 tablets and are available in leading supermarkets and major pharmacies nationally for RRP $5.99
