A member asked:
Can your taste buds get swollen from brushing too hard i think i brush too hard and now it feels weird on one side?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Can be a few causes that create same effect- allergies, spicy or bitter foods, temperature of foods,beverages, etc. Over-aggressiveness of brushing can irritate the taste buds too...even certain toothpastes may affect the taste buds. Meds, supplements also
