I got a mouth guard a few nights ago. I started wearing it and am having a lot of pain. Its not jaw pain or muscle...it feels like I have sores or rawness in the very back of my left side (top and bottom). My mom said it is very red and swollen. Is that adjusting or is something wrong?
Hi... Welcome to Chat Doctor. As per your complaint you have problem of swollen and redness in mouth after wearing a mouth guard. Overextension or improper adjustment of appliance lead to this type of problems. Consult your dentist again for oral examination and adjustment of mouth guard. I hope my guidance helpful to you. Take care. Thank you.
