Hello,
I might be worrying about nothing here.. and would love to hear that I’m worrying about nothing...
Occasionally (maybe once or twice a week) when I’m eating, I feel like I’ve bitten down on something grainy/gritty when I haven’t been eating anything with that texture. This feeling doesn’t last, though, by the next bite it’s gone. I’m just making sure it isn’t a tooth crumbling. I don’t feel pain, it doesn’t seem to be a specific tooth, and there is no sharp feeling or rough feeling or any visible signs of wearing. Nothing to suggest that anything has come off from the tooth or broken down. After feeling it on that one bite, everything goes back to normal again.
I’m thinking it’s possible that what I’m eating may have had a larger grain of salt that I’ve caught.. or some people say you can get this feeling if a bit of plaque has dislodged and you’ve bitten it.. possibly part of fissure sealant material (though there are no signs of trouble there)..
Like I said, I feel like there is nothing wrong with any of my teeth afterwards, and this doesn’t happen every day. I had a thorough check up, clean and fissure sealants done when I had to have some treatment done under GA about 4 months ago, and I feel they would have told me if a tooth was likely to break down.
Is this something I can just let go and not worry about if there are no signs of any problems?
Thanks so much!
