the Price of a Mouth Guard

I played on a football team in the Summer of 2007. We were required by to wear mouth guards to play, but I couldn't fit one they gave me in my mouth. I went to a dentist to help make a mold of a rubber mouth guard. It was a pretty simple service, which was fast and relatively inexpensive. If you have ever taken an impression then it is basically the same concept. They put the gooey stuff in a mold and make you hold it in your mouth until it solidifies. It worked out and fit easily into my mouth over my braces.

The services was adequate and I was content with the results. Since it only took about twenty minutes, I didn't expect it to cost very much. The price was almost $30, but you are probably paying more for the dentist's time than the actual product. I would expect most prices for this service to be between $20 and $30 dollars.

If you have braces or some other issue with having a mouth guard I would definitely recommend this. You don't really have to make an appoint very far ahead of time; just call the office and they can usually squeeze you in. It is a really short appointment. Good luck.
