Splint
Posted: 10-24-07 10:01am

I have a soft splint my regular dentist made for me. (I wonder if it is not enough of one to really help). It cost $200. Should I try wearing it 24/7? The plastic is kinda thick at the top of the gum and kinda irritates after awhile. I've been wearing it just at night.

Have an appt. on Friday with a specialist but I'm afraid of the cost. I''ve had this splint since the first of August.
Thanks,
Martha

what did the doctor say with regards to wearing it? usually at first you wear it 24/7. dont worry about the cost--feeling better is much more important than the money. you can work out a payment plan that will work for you. just ask.
