What can I do about having a sore tongue following a scale & polish?
Q. After having a scale & polish at my present dental practice I am left with such a sharp gap between my lower front teeth that my tongue is permanently sore. The dental practitioner has told me there is nothing they can do to correct this except make me a gumshield to wear at night. But it is during the day that I have this awful irritation & soreness. Have I been given the right advice?,
A. Go back to your Dentist and aks him or her just to smooth off the sharp edges.
