They’re good thanks for asking

[Sillysausage234 in reply to nicky602279]

It was a distraction technique to take your mind off freaking out 😊

[nicky602279 in reply to Sillysausage234]

I managed to calm down a bit but the sweet taste is just new and it freaks me out !!!

[Sillysausage234 in reply to nicky602279]

Anxious minds make stuff up on us there’s always something

[nicky602279 in reply to Sillysausage234]

I was feeling okay until i ate and it tasted sweet 😭 but idk could be my gum causing it cause it still hurts like feels sore 😩

[Sillysausage234 in reply to nicky602279]

Maybe an abscess on your gum

[nicky602279 in reply to Sillysausage234]

I don’t feel no ball though thats the thing 😫

[Sillysausage234 in reply to nicky602279]

That’s good if it’s not swollen ......are any teeth sore?

[nicky602279 in reply to Sillysausage234]

I don’t feel like it is i feel like my cheek is a bit like that tissue cause the tooth is a wisdom tooth and it’s rubbing against but I haven’t ever had a problem with them ! And no teeth are sore .

[Sillysausage234 in reply to nicky602279]

Something going on ...if it’s freaking you out needs someone to check it for you

[Sunflowerxxxxxx]

Maybe a trip to the dentist would be advisable just to make sure all is ok given you said you had problem with your gum hope u go on ok🙂

[nicky602279 in reply to Sunflowerxxxxxx]

I don’t think ill be able to see one its so pricey here in texas and the pain isn’t as bad . It’s just that sweet taste it just happened today and it scares me 😟

[Sunflowerxxxxxx in reply to nicky602279]

Give it a day or two it may well go away things often do try not to panic about it panicing stress can make you feel run down , that happens to me sometimes and then i get mouth ulcers it may well pass

[nicky602279 in reply to Sunflowerxxxxxx]

My mouth still feels sore like it hurts a bit idk if it could be my gum thats causing it 😭 thank you for replying! 🙏🏾

Get your mouth checked out. Something that is freaking you out will keep freaking you out till you get peace of mind.

Maybe try canceling sweet with something sour, not spicey. Lemon, lime, vinegar, etc.

[Sandieandie]

I am exactly the same. There is always something. I have trouble with my mouth as my meds for my depression over the years have made my mouth extremely dry and I cannot produce saliva. As I am getting older I am getting more scared and I need to curb that but do not know how. Very very debilitating. I am so sorry I cannot help but there are others like us out there.

[EsmeLu in reply to Sandieandie]

Have you tried Biotene for dry mouth? It’s helped me so much. I also drink flavored water once or twice a day, and it helps immensely.

[Sandieandie in reply to EsmeLu]

I have tried the Biotene stuff that you apply and then move it around with your tongue but I find it very sweet. Was thinking of trying the spray. I already drink lots of water probably too much. Thank you for that.

[EsmeLu]

Nicky, you remind of my little sister, and of me when I was younger. I deal with severe anxiety and panic disorder, but luckily I’ve been able to control my out of control fears about my health. My advice? Relax. Go and do something else. So what if you taste something sweet? Maybe there was a spice or spice combination that made it taste that way. Are you bleeding? No? Then relax. Tell yourself you’re going to wait a few days to see if it goes away on its own. If it doesn’t, then make an appointment. I hope you feel better soon.

[QuiltLady in reply to EsmeLu]

I sometimes have health anxiety, what worked for you to be able control the fears about your health?

[senorab12]

If your gums are sore and nothing else, then it’s gingivitis and it goes away by just brushing your teeth more and don’t forget to floss too, no need to panic.

Get some sugar acid neutralising toothpaste your blood sugars maybe raised thus hurting your gums. Bite/suck into a quarter cut lemon if your feeling anxious and drink plenty of water after bushing your teeth and with sugar acid neutralising toothpaste don't forget a good mouth wash brush for at least 2 mins with a soft brush, mouthwash for at least 1 minute. For the first day brush morning afternoon and evening. Drinking water will help lower blood sugars as to will exercise. Talking from a recent problem myself mine was more severe as I still need to see a dentist still but keeping it all under control.

Should pain go to your tooth nerves try rubbing clove oil on your gums it tastes awful if tasted try not to get it on your tongue it is a natural antibiotic and will numb any pain even sever toothache or for mild pain Bongela which is for gum pain and infections.

Hope you feel a bit better soon 😊
