Answers:

Rubber is a natural product made from the rubber tree and plastics are made from petroleum.. I don't think rubber products are harmful but check with your dentist if you have any concerns..Health Question & Answer

It could have some dangerous materials, but I doubt it would.. If your dentist gave it to you, I highly doubt it could harm you.. They make those so you don't end up getting hurt, so I wouldn't worry about it..
