Inside of lower teeth feels rough, is this a result of medicine?

Possibly calculus: Calculus deposits can feel rough, and the linguals of your lower anterior teeth will build up calculus quickly. If your last dental cleaning was more than six months ago, now is the time for a phone call.

No: Rough feeling is from calculus attached to back of your teeth or thick plaque. Also worn down or chipped teeth can cause a rough feeling.
