Why do i get the sensation frequently of chewing on loose teeth or glass with no sharp edges when eating or not? no recent dental work; sensitive gums

Get checked: You need to first get checked by your Dentist for possible periodontal (gum) disease. Also to rule out any bite problems which could be causing loosening of the teeth, and clenching/grinding habits. You may also be referred for Medical exam and bloodwork to evaluate for systemic disease such as Diabetes. Make the appt. and get checked. Good Luck.
