I have problem with dental retainer

2017-12-22 06:17:17
Hello, I have dental retainers and it has scratches on the side, everytime my toungue or any of the mouth touches the scratches I usually drool or my mouth produces excess saliva, it bothers me and make me depress. Can I just ignore it or what will I do to solve the problem? thanks

If the retainer is uneven or rough, just get it smoothen and polished by your orthodontist or dentist from whom you got that done. Rough appliance attracts more food stuff and might cause bad breath, Smoothening it will help you.
