I need help (unrelated) DENTAL

Hey all I need help. Unrelated to benzo wd but I need to know if anyone else has had this

Recently I’ve noticed an occasional crunchy feeling in my mouth. Like I ate a tiny little piece of salt or a grain of sand is in my teeth. And i can crunch it. It has no flavor.

At first I assumed it was pepper or coffee grinds or something but I’ve been noticing it quite often now to where it’s not related to food

Like a tiny little crystal or grain of salt. I’ll feel it, crunch and then swallow it.

Is this my dental fillings wearing down? Or a sign of a cavity?

The lady at the dental office front desk said it sounds like a cavity wearing down

But she’s a front desk person. I can’t trust her lol

So my health anxiety is going nuts. But I can’t even find anything like this on google

I guess when I got my fillings, it was a similar feeling when they first initially we’re wearing down. Like those hard pieces that flake off when you grind them down.

But I haven’t had fillings in years. So what gives. Is there some rare disease causing this or is it a dental issue

Has anyone else had this happen

Like I lick my teeth and there’s a tiny grain of salt, crunch crunch (but it’s not actually salt)

Omg could it be something as stupid as this?

Spinach teeth?

I’ve been eating spinach like every day. Spinach causes crystal feelings in mouth? Wtf.

Ok but here is why it’s related to wd.

Why am I so worried about it. Like seriously. This ain’t normal. I’ve been doing ok otherwise!! Getting my period soon so symptoms always ramp up a little bit

Just health anxiety for the most part left <3

It could be a tiny piece of filling breaking away Meganz.  Are you going to see the dentist? 

It doesn't sound like anything serious, but rationality doesn't count for much when it comes to health anxiety.  I sometimes feel a tiny speck in my eye and think I've got macular degeneration.  I did not have this sort of health anxiety pre benzo WD.  I don't have macular degeneration. 

I think our nervous systems are so totally primed for danger. danger. danger, anything can trigger it. 

Spinach teeth.  That's so cute Meganz  Try not worry.  You are doing so well.

It might be deadwood. I’m going next Wednesday but I think I can convince myself I’m not dying in the meantime. I’m about due to get a dental checkup anyway.

Yeah this health anxiety is just so irrational. Idk if it’s PTSD or wd. I guess if it gets better then we’ll know…..

Meg,

I don't think it's anything serious. But totally get the health anxiety after everything we've been through. We have a tendency to always think of the worst instead of just being positive that everything's going to be okay. But in this case I'm sure it is. Keep us posted.
