Skin Touching Teeth Feeling Strange After Having Salt, Vinegar Chips. Possible Reason?

Hi, for the past couple of months the skin tha touches my teeth feels strange. The best way l can explain it is that they feel the same as they would after having eaten a salt and vinegar packet of chips. If I don t talk for a while it feels like this inner skin sticks to my teeth. Another way of explaining what it feels like, is when you keep your hands in water for a long period of time and your finger feel real wrinkly, well that s how the inside of my lips feel like. Thinking it was the toothpaste we changed brand but it is still the same. Would you have any idea please?

Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.
Your teeth has eroded resulting in gingival recession .

Teeth feeling strange due to exposed dentin or root portion of tooth.

Get your teeth cleaned.
Exposed tooth portion has to be restored with tooth coloured filling materials.

Use soft bristled toothbrush as well as dental floss.

Take care.
