Wanting to Place a 'Splint' at the Dentist...

Hi,

I would like to know if I should get the insurance plan to cover placing of 2 splints next year.

I'm afraid, as is anybody, that certain procedures at the dentist, can worsen tinnitus (and know now to allow for ultrasonic apparatus).

I have been told that the placement is similar to handling/processing a filling, but I don't see how that works...

Does anybody have any experience with this, and could they please share their experiences with me. Perhaps share a detailed video?

I'm rather afraid of doing the wrong thing, financially and tinnitus wise.

FYI a splint is a tiny piece of metal that gets placed behind the teeth to keep them from moving over the years (preserving their positions which were corrected in my youth by braces).

PS: I've never liked the dentist, that's not getting better...

Thank you.

Kind regards,

Michael Barton

 

the question that comes to my mind is is that splint absolutely necessary? Is it worth the risk? what happens if you don't get the splint?
