Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I feel a pressure in one of my front teeth. It is not painful and does not hurt to eat. Just feel pressure. I remember biting something the other day and it felt a little like I had bitten it too hard. No visible change to any of my teeth and it is not painful. The pressure is inconsistent.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I had gone through your question and I can understand your concern. As per your history, it looks because of biting on hard substance, periodontal ligament has been damaged transiently, it is a thin membrane between teeth and bone. There is nothing to worry, it will selfheal within three to four days. Remember that do not keep touching it, this may be enjoyable but it can lead to periodontal tissue damage. Also, take soft foods and do not bite on hard fruits like apple or even hard meat too.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
