Whether you’re playing sports this weekend or you find yourself grinding your teeth at night, mouthguards are an effective treatment option for protecting your teeth and avoiding a dental emergency. That’s why we never want our patients to forgo wearing a mouthguard due to cost.
So, are mouthguards covered under insurance? The good news is that many health funds do cover custom mouthguards.
