Why Do My Gums And Teeth Feel Squeaky Clean?

For the last few days the inside of my mouth feels very odd for a time after eating. When I run my tongue over my gums and teeth, they feel so “squeaky” clean, and so much so, that my tongue almost sticks to the gums and teeth. Like there’s no “ lubricating” saliva, very strange and never had anything like it. Nothing new as regards medications and no dental problems; teeth are in really good shape for my age, my dentist has told me.

Hi,

It looks like you have dryness inside your mouth and it is the cause of squeaky feeling inside mouth and along with it there is sticking of tongue to gums and teeth.
So my suggestion is to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated.
In case if there is dryness in mouth then chew sugarfree chewing gums..
-Drink plenty of water.
-Avoid regular mouthwash and use specialized mouthwash that are formulated for dry mouth patients like Biotene..
-You can also instil artificial saliva drops..
-Suck tart candies as it also stimulates saliva flow..

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
