If you blow into it you'll have to do every so often and the moisture can lead to some problems, it's recommended that you use compressed air.
Yeah, they told me that when I had my genesis as an excuse to sell me a cleaning kit. I wouldn't worry too much. If my DS lasts as long as my Genesis (or some of my friends' NESs) carts that have been blown into for years, then I doubt it's that big a problem.

Well, I only had to blow in my bro's DSi button once, and a month later it's still working fine.
My DS Lite survived the blows I had to do to fix the buttons, and so did the DSi...for a little while. After a few months, I noticed my L button was getting sorta jammed and now it won't click down properly and doesn't make the clicky noise when you do so). For some reason the blowing trick still works on the R button, despite that I had to blow into it WAY more times. o_O (and no, I didn't purposely slobber goop through the little crack )
I've never had the L/R problems on the DSi; it seemed to me that they greatly improved the shoulder buttons over the old Lite design.
But, with my previous Lite, I had a hell of a lot of trouble with the shoulder buttons, and of course I blew into them (this is an oooold trick for Lite owners ), but you should be warned: over time, it just got worse, so that I'd have to blow more and more into it, and eventually blowing was almost entirely ineffective. I believe the compressed air suggestion is much safer in the long run, because all that moisture in your breath causes even worse damage over time.

Nintendude, you are my effing hero! The L button on my DS lite hasn't worked correctly in ages, sometime it had it's good periods where it worked if you pressed it just right, sometimes it wouldn't work at all. Now, thanks to you, my DSlite works just like new! Thanks a million, man!
Mine was fine... until I dropped the DSiXL on the floor, hitting the L Button... Me, as I always say (though the idea IS NOT mine)... you need to use CPR on the button.
