teeth feel sticky when bite down
Hi, Tank-chan. I noticed sometimes my teeth feel sticky when I bite down, should I be worried about that?
Hello! There can be a few reasons as to why your teeth feel sticky. It may be due to plaque build-up, sugar residue from the food you've eaten, or even dry mouth. However, it's not necessarily an immediate cause for concern!
How could I know if it's any of these you mentioned?
If the stickiness persists regardless of brushing and flossing, it might be due to plaque build-up. If brushing and consuming water alleviate the stickiness, it might have been sugar residue or dry mouth. But remember, I'm just suggesting possibilities. If you're concerned, it would be best to visit a dentist!
True, it's always better to get a professional opinion. Additionally, is there anything I can do to prevent this?
Sure, some helpful habits include regular brushing and flossing, using a fluoride-based toothpaste, drinking lots of water, and following a balanced diet. These practices should help to keep your oral health optimal. But remember, regular dental visits are always helpful too!
Thanks, Tank-chan! You gave lots of useful information.
You're welcome! I'm glad I could help. Remember to keep up with good oral hygiene habits and don't hesitate to seek professional advice if you're unsure or concerned. Have a great day!
