Teeth grinding guard

Just phoned the dentist and it will be £80.00. It's tailor made to my dental impression so should be a perfect fit. It's a lot of money but if it works should be worth it.

Thanks for posting the photo Izabella, that's actually very helpful. They don't look to heavy and cumbersome at all.

Re prices- a custom made mouth guard ( which imo is much the best) is one of those odd situations where going privately is cheaper than NHS.Thats because under NHS Bands, anything made in a lab is Band 3 so the patient ( unless getting free care) would have to pay the Band 3 contribution of just under £260. The going rate privately with some examples here is aroun £80-£100

I started off buying a cheap one from A*** but struggled to get a good fit and they ended up falling out during the night! My dentist advised me that I could have one on the NHS but that they were in the top price band ie over £250 so a private fitting at £100 was better value. I think it was well worth it to get a good tight fit that still works even after a tooth extraction. For me, it solved the problem of toothache and erosion caused by grinding my teeth and helped me sleep better.

I am a grinder and am sure that's the reason for my headaches. So I will ask my dentist next time I see him. But £1000 quid ? I'd have to put up with the headaches ?

I don’t understand that £1000- either it’s a mistake or the dentist was on the fiddle

Mine was a private dentist appointment so I think Maryeliza is right; sometimes it's cheaper than NHS. And if it's custom made, to your exact dental impression, in theory it should be a decent fit. she said hopefully.

My dentist told me the same as maryeliza dentist. It was cheaper to go private than NHS. On the NHS mine would have cost £250+ private cost £120. Took me a while to get used to wearing it.
