Hello everyone,

Recently went to get a routine dental checkup. My new dentist (second time seen) is recommending that I get a Evening Guard to stop put on on my teeth though grinding in my sleep.

She initially mentioned in when I saw her earlier in the year - it is not a thing that my original dentist (retired) ever mentioned.

I'm told that it can cost ?45 private (?100+ NHS apparently), and that I'd require an appointment where a mould of my teeth could be taken for the evening guard to become created from.

I notice on the other hand that on Amazon you may obtain generic "Night Guards" for about ?15. These look to be like the Gum Shields for sports where you heat it after which "mould" it.

I'm pretty confident that the Dentist 1 is going to match superior, as it's moulded to match. That said I noticed some comments from the pages from the USA where persons complained that they couldn't sleep with it, or that it was uncomfortable.

Just wondering if any individual else have any encounter of night guards please?.

Thank you
