Any reasons why my teeth feel like chalk after i brush my teeth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Type of Toothpaste?: Some toothpastes and/or mouthwashes can leave a "chalky" feeling in your mouth. Try using a toothpaste that does not contain sodium lauryl sulfate (most toothpastes do). Remember you should floss too :-) some medications that you are taking may also cause your teeth to feel that way as well. Of course, if you have not visited your dentist in awhile, that might help too.

Good day, I have problems with my teeth. Every time I brush them there is blood coming out. When I bite, say an apple, there will be blood on the apple. Something when I swallow my saliva for some reason, I can feel some blood as well. Please help.
