Sore throat from dental night guard, normal?

No: Night guards should not cause symptoms of a sore throat. Make sure that you are keeping the guard clean. See the provider who fabricated the guard for you for an examination. Among other possible causes, you may be allergic to some ingredient in the guard.

No: No matter what material made for the night guard, you should not have edge that cut your tongue or tissue. One condition that you night guard might cause sore throat is you have a dirty night guard that you did not clean the piece well and contaminated.
