General information regarding your health care
The information and content (collectively, "Content") on this website is for your general educational information only. The Content cannot, and is not intended to, replace the relationship that you have with your health care professionals. The Content on this website is not medical advice. You should always talk to your health care professionals for information concerning diagnosis and treatment, including information regarding which drugs or treatment may be appropriate for you.

The Dental Care Cost Estimator sometimes groups together, into "treatment categories," services that are often delivered together to address a particular dental problem. The description of different treatment categories, and the inclusion of particular services in a treatment category, is not advice that any particular treatment category is the right treatment for you or that you should not obtain any particular treatment. All of those matters are things that you should decide, in consultation with your dental care professionals. This cost estimator is intended for use in the 50 states, Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories. If you live outside the U.S., you may see information on this cost estimator about products or services that are not available or authorized in your country.

More information regarding how cost estimates are calculated
Cost estimates for services provided by out-of-network dentists (available in the out-of-network estimator) are based upon submitted claims data for out-of-network providers. The data is based on actual, non-discounted charges that providers have billed.
Cost estimates are specific to geographic areas, as defined by the first three digits of a ZIP code (e.g., the geo ZIP for 12345 is 123).
Here are the benefits of creating an account
Many people clench or grind their teeth, a condition called bruxism, without being aware of it. Clenching occurs when you press your upper and lower teeth tightly together. Grinding happens when you rub your teeth back and forth against each other. Your dentist may see signs of wear on your teeth that indicate that you grind.
Although the cause isn’t fully understood, bruxism is often due to stress. Over time it can cause issues including:
Problems with your temporomandibular joint (TMJ). This joint connects your lower jaw to your skull. TMJ problems can lead to symptoms such as jaw pain, earache, headache, and clicking or popping noises when you open or close your mouth.
Worn down and broken teeth. Grinding can also cause teeth to become painful and loose.
Since bruxism can damage teeth and cause jaw, head, and ear pain, it’s important to try to kick the habit. Here are some things you can do to ease the pain while breaking the cycle:
Reduce stress. Everything from eating a healthy diet to getting regular exercise to spending time with people you enjoy can help.
Relax your face and jaw muscles. Practicing this throughout the day can help you create a habit of relaxing instead of tightening these muscles.
Tell your dentist if you clench or grind your teeth. Your dentist may suggest a type of mouth guard called a splint, a bite guard, or a night guard. There are several different types that work in different ways. Your dentist can design one that will work best for you.
