Might be toothpaste: Your new toothpaste might be a little more abrasive than your old toothpaste. As a test, why don't you switch back to your old toothpaste and see if that grainy feeling resolves? Then you'll know for sure if it was the toothpaste.

Could be toothpaste: It could be the toothpaste itself and you got a bad batch. You might want to try another tube of the same toothpaste or try a different brand altogether.

Toothpaste: Some people react to different components in toothpaste- First try your old toothpaste again an see if it is alright. What type of fillings did you have and were they replacements or new fillings?

Toothpaste: Some toothpastes have granules in them to help with the removal of bacteria. Try a different toothpaste , one that doesn't contain any extra ingredients such as "whitening", or "tarter control". If that doesn't resolve the problem, go back to the dentist that placed the fillings.

Switch back: If you rub a bit of toothpaste between your dry fingers and you can feel the grit, then it's too coarse. Switch to a toothpaste with the ADA seal of approval such as Crest, Fact, Cue, Colgate, or many others.
