    A lovely gesture, fair play to you. Unfortunately I think most organisations would be too risk-averse. Most of the medical companies would prefer to just send out a new one. Perhaps if you put it on adverts.ie for a noiminal amount, someone that already has one or needed a cheap upgrade would spot it. Worst case scenario, you'd be saving it from landfill.

    Has anyone seen Dr Abhilash Sahadevan in the Beacon for a Sleep Consultation?

    I’ve been referred to him and have an appointment in May.

    Would appreciate any insight into how anyone found him.

    Thanks.

    I go to beacon sleep dental, had my consultation and sleep test in the galway clinic where I was prescribed cpap, couldn’t tolerate it after a while, they made me a splint in the beacon and it was a game changer, passed two sleep tests with it. They might be worth a call as well, both ways are expensive, if I was doing it again I probably would have went for the splint first but it was never offered as an option in the galway clinic and I’d never heard of it. https://beacondentalsleep.ie/

    I went down the splint route initially, found it intolerable, sore jaws, found it difficult to operate , loads of drool, always panicked trying to open it in my mouth

    The narrower a man’s mind, the broader his statements.

    Yea don’t think either are ideal, if I went Splint first I might have a different opinion.
    Mine pops in and out easy, had to go through about 5 splints, he brought my jaw forward bit by bit over a couple of months so it doesn’t really hurt.
