California Dental Insurance – Teeth Night Guards
Dental Insurance and Teeth Night Guards. My current dental insurance denied coverage for me to have night guards. I grind my teeth when I sleep, and the dentist advised me to wear one. However, their cost for night guards without my insurance help is $400.00. I see teeth night guards online for around $25.00 – $50.00. I know they are not custom fitted but will they work just the same? I am not going to spend $400.00 since that is just too much for me right now.
Reply: There are over-the-counter night guards you can buy that do work and are fit to your teeth if you follow the directions provided. However, talk to your dentist. Let your dentist know that cost is a factor and what counter product could he or she suggest for you to try.
