Purchase a Mouth Guard
Where can I purchase a mouth guard? I want to protect my teeth from high intensity training and any grinding of my teeth? Would a mouth guard help with that?

Nope. That's why I'm on the internet arguing with strangers. If I had anything better to do I'd probably be doing it.Do you not have anything else to do rather than argue with strangers on the internet

Agreed. Your dentist will most likely refer you to a specialist who makes custom devices. My husband has one - it is not for sports though. Note that your company medical plan will not likely pay for it (well, there are always exceptions) and it will not be cheap. The lifespan is generally 5 years - he is now on his second one - price rose from $1,000 to $1,200. The ones sold at SDM or "As Seen on TV" will be a lot cheaper but can also cause extreme damage to your teeth.

Holy cow. The one my dentist made for me cost no more than $200.Blanche123 wrote: ↑ price rose from $1,000 to $1,200.

Sounds like there's a lot of variations. One poster said $100, you say $200, another says over a $1000. My dentist (night grinder here) quoted me a price of $300 and change.Kiraly wrote: ↑Holy cow.

My husband's was to slightly open his airway - he did not need a sleep apnea machine. It did the trick. However, the specialist had to measure his mouth to determine if he would be a candidate for the appliance - he was - and fortunately he actually used it. He is a major snorer - just like the rest of his family.NG wrote: ↑Sounds like there's a lot of variations. One poster said $100, you say $200, another says over a $1000.

I wonder if this was the reason for the giant discrepancy.

Could be. But I am just happy that he uses it - there was major doubt on my part that he would, based on history.death_hawk wrote: ↑I wonder if this was the reason for the giant discrepancy.
I think most mouth guards are meant for tooth protection rather than airway opening.
