This is a bit of a strange one but I have noticed only recently that after my maximum level of exertion, I get this strange sensation in my teeth, as if they have been subject to a lot of sugar or acid and they feel furry and sticky. The rest of the sensation is really hard to describe but it's almost how teeth feel after eating something satisfyingly sugary and sweet.
I have been on a Ketogenic diet for the last 8 months and have also recently introduced CBD Oil which has enabled me to increase my activity level with less crashing, but it is when I reach my limit that this strange tooth feeling occurs.
I can't work out whether it is something being released into my mouth, like an acidic compound, or if the body is demanding more energy via glucose and stimulating such a reaction that would emulate the desire for sugar.
My Jaw and TMJ have always become tight after exertion, and on top of this sticky feeling, my teeth also feel tight and make small movements, clicking noises as if they are being pulled around. It's not an anxiety or jaw-grinding that causes this.
In general, my dental health has improved loads since going Keto, and 99% of the time my teeth are shiny and smooth, so it's a bit of a weird one. It's not really a terrible symptom but slightly irritating but I am more interested in what mechanism it points to.
