RE: Why does every night guard feel like a mouthful of plastic?

That’s funny, I actually drooled way more with the soft guard. The dentist warned me it might take some adjusting, but I didn’t expect to wake up basi...

RE: Why does it feel like dentists only want to throw antibiotics at gum problems?
