I went to my ear, nose and throat doc who stated I need to get a night guard made by the dentist. My dental insurance will not cover it so I was wondering if anyone had any luck having your medical insurance covering it? (since it is my physician stating I need it) Thanks in advance.
Don’t go to all that expense and trouble. Get a sports mouth guard. It will serve the same purpose and only costs about $10.
If you get your DR to wite a perscription for it… they might.. Get a good one.. The cheap ones .. you won’t even keep in your mouth one night…. Good luck… : )
DO NOT USE A SPORTS GUARD….This will ***** up your bite and jaw over time.The guard a dentist makes for you fits everything perfectly…For a good reason…Have your dr. write the precscription form and send it with the dentists estimate together…They should cover it if it was prescribed from a medical doctor…good luck
I bite down at night and spent almost $400 on one from the dentist.. then the dog ate it .. I bought one from the tooth brush section at walgreens called night guard . .like $15.00 and works just as good. give it a try before going to the dentist way to much $$$$
