What Causes Irritation In Gums And Tongue When Using Night Guard?
I have been wearing a nightguard for two weeks --off and on--for bruxism. I believe I am allergic to it. I am allergic to a great many things. The tip of my tongue is irritated and my gums have a strange sensation like when I eat something I am allergic to. Could I be allergic to my night guard?
