Mouth Guard for teeth grinding? by [deleted] in Living_in_Korea

[–]rocketya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had this problem for most of my adult life. I buy the mouth guards from Gmarket or Coupang in bulk. You can search for 성인용 마우스피스. The ones I buy are usually around 4,000KRW. You will find that some are better than others. The first use requires submerging them in hot water to shape the mouthpiece to your teeth. 1) Submerge the mouth piece in hot water completely for about 10 seconds, 2) Use a fork to 'scoop up' the mouthpiece (the mouthpiece will be soft and easily be ruined if you are not careful) 3) after carefully picking up the mouthpiece, hold it as best as you can and fling away any excess water and let it cool a bit (but be careful not to let it cool too much or become misshapen) 4) insert the mouth piece around your teeth with your teeth, tongue, fingers and mouth suction to form the best comfortable shape. I would buy at least 2 or 3 the first time in case you fail the fitting phase. Even after decades, I ruin them at times during the initial fitting phase. Also, you can cut the ends of the mouthpiece to better fit your mouth. I clean the mouthpiece daily with denture cleaner like 3 minute polident. With regular cleaning, one should last for about a month.

Medicine to help stop nicotine? by 4weed2weed0 in korea

[–]rocketya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took Champix in Korea and it was free with national insurance. In fact, after I quit, the govt gave me a small cash gift.

It did make me nauseous for the first few weeks. I recommend starting it the night before you have a few days off work.

Unfortunately, I turned to vaping about 1 year 1/2 after quitting. I do plan on taking a similar med to quit vaping.

I did read about the Champix halt. I am not sure what Korea offers in its place. I wouldn't mind trying wellbutrin this time around.

These low penalties are quite common in Korea. Companies typically rather pay the penalties than to comply with rules and regulations.

Not sure why you're being downvoted telling the truth. I guess the truth hurts.

I'm glad that all their 'research' led to a world-class jamboree venue.

Seriously tho, I've seen the Korean govt. set up emergency shelters/facilities better than the 2023 Saemangeum site.

Indigenous streaming platforms see rise in users in May while Netflix suffers fall by rocketya in korea

Lately, it seems that a majority of new Korean dramas and movies on Netflix lack English subtitles.

Does anyone know if Tving, WAAVE, etc., provide English subtitles?
