It could be due to a change in diet. It is not an indication of any health issue. Keep up your routine of oral health. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

Has something changed recently such as diet, t'paste, mouth wash? If yo are concerned, make a 1st thing in the morning appointment with your Dentist, and don't brush the "white stuff" off before the appointment. Dentist can then take throat swab and send it to lab for analysis.

So I have an issue. Some of the back teeth in my lower jaw on the left side hurts if I chew down on food or if I brush my tongue on it. It happens for a day, stops for a few weeks, then picks back up. It's not a sharp pain, more like a dull pinching pain.
