Ever since I started wearing my night guard, I have had a sensitive tongue and inner lips. Even drinking water burns my tongue and when I eat it feels like sandpaper. Could I be allergic to the guard? If I am, what alternatives do I have to protect my teeth from my grinding?
Hello and welcome. Thanks for sharing your concern. Please see your dentist and discuss. You might need to change the material with which your night guard is made. The second option could be application of restorative cements near the affected area for some time and look for results.Therefore, please visit your dentist once for clinical evaluation. At home, you can discontinue your night guard for a week and check if the sensitivity is due to that or not? Hope it helps. Thanks. Take care.
