Can you offer some advice?

I grind my teeth at night and my canines are now ground past the enamel.
This was confirmed today during my checkup and teeth cleaning.

My dentist is suggesting getting fitted with a mouth guard.

I tried that years ago but it was uncomfortable to wear....it was custom fit
but came out like the mouth guard you wear for physical contact sports. I
could not sleep with it....too bulky and suffocating for me. This old
mouthguard no longer fits as I have had 2 or 3 teeth capped since it was
made so modifications to it may not be possible.

Although insurance will pay for a new guard I have heard commercials about a
drugstore brand you can buy (not the sports type) that is supposedly just as
effective.

Any opinions?

Thanks in advance for your expert advice.

I'd suggest you chill out...clear your mind of everything that stresses
you out. No more chasing Chuck..hoping against hope to 'best him' in
some argument.....no more trashing Canadians or any liberal sensible
minded people. Your teeth will thank you for it and this newsgroup will
also.
One more thing...buy a boat already....then at least you'll feel like
you belong here.

Just kill those who are causing you stress. Now doesn't that feel better?

Normal people might then be plagued by a guilty conscience...you do
consider yourself normal, don't you Bill??

Normal, but it might relieve your stress.

Don, I would rather be boatless than to have to admit that all I could
afford when I was in my 50's (as I assume you are) was a used 17 foot
sailboat.

Thanks for ruining a thread that had nothing to do with you.

It's 18.5 feet Mr. Boatsnob. It was a compromise...all I could haul
with my mini-van.

Did it ever occur to you that maybe he's not trying to impress anyone,
and that boat is exactly what he wants? That's the trouble with most
right wingers, always trying to keep up with the Jones's.

Kind of like you ruined a thread about boat motors that I was involved
with?
