    It's funny now but this morning was a tragic one for me because my mouth guard of 5 yrs got flushed down the toilet. I tried to save it but wasn't fast enough - I literally flushed €300 down the toilet!! The funny bit was that my dad told me he probably could have retrieved it from the shore eek: :eek: :eek:

    As in Gum Shield? I recently got a custom one made as I play sports. It was €75.

    Nah I wear a resin one at night so I don't grind my teeth..

    EDIT - the damage is €220 which is less than I expected to pay and better still I have no cavities(i'd been put off going before the guard was MIA)!!!

    Well done on making it 5 years - I got one made for me and it lasted 2 months before it was ground away :(

    Some mouth guards are soft and flexable like a boxers gumshiled some a hard like stone made of acryic and have a custom made bite on the underside to help with grinding and joint problems. 220 euro for a hard one is a bargain considering the ammount of time taken to get one correct.

    That one was the best I've had so far because it was fitted properly and trimmed etc. I'll be getting my new one next week and I'll be keeping it away from the loo :D ..
