Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / August 2005Question about dental guard/mouth guard
Several years ago, my dentist made a dental guard or mouth guard for my lower teeth to help prevent grinding at night. Sometimes I need it during the day. For a while I was able to use it during the day because it wasn't very noticeable. Unfortunately, the color of the mouth guard has gone from a clear/pale pink color to a yellowish-amber tint. This happened in spite of cleaning the guard with baking soda, various denture cleaner fizzies, tooth whitening agents, etc. The guard cost me $600.00, none of which was covered by my insurance. I would like to be able to wear it during the day on an "as needed" basis, but it is too noticeable and extremely unattractive now. Do you have any ideas on how to restore the guard to its original beauty? Sounds to me like you'll need a new one. Call your dentist and ask him about it and tell him that the one he made now is unattractive and see if he will give you a discount.
