Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

Was it one fitted for you and included the dentist's consultation fee?

And all that will happen is you will eventually grind the gum shield away

A private prescription

Over £20 in Boots which I thought was reasonable enough but didn't want to queue so went to Sainsburys and it was less than £5?

Brighton - even Hove!

You can get mouth guards in sports shops - put them in boiling water to soften them then they can be moulded to your teeth.

I ground through 2 shields last yr but dentist has had a tougher slightly thicker one made for me ... latest me 8 mths so far and it has helped reduce my morning headaches.

Worth the money to get a properly fitted shield.

Random how they make the prices but taking a mould and having it made in the lab all costs x

Ebay have started taking a percentage of sellers postage costs, so a lot of sellers add that amount so they don't lose out.. Don't know if that's the case with yours though x

we were working in wembley at the time and they were racking up penalty clauses galore for not hitting deadlines for completing on time ..we popped into a pub to watch the midday footie match and got talking to the locals ..they were all contractors working at wembley and clocked in ..as soon as the footie match finished they finished their pints and took the 10 minute walk back to wembley and clocked out

Correct.

I paid £80 for mine and thought that was steep.

Dentistry is a closed shop and dentists will charge what the market will bear.
