Both perio and dentist said they are at a loss and reg doctor said the same.

Has this all changed for you since you had the gum graft surgery? Does the area where the graft was removed from the roof of your mouth feel any differently than the rest of the palate?

I have a few other lines of thought.
1) Has anyone checked your tongue? Often, if you’re ‘feeling’ unusual things on the roof of your mouth, it can actually be a change in the normal texture of your tongue. For example, someone with geographic tongue, where there are smooth patches on the tongue, can make your palate feel fuzzy or slimy.
If your tongue is constantly heading to the roof of your mouth, it puts strain on the muscles in your tongue and might be causing the ache in the molar region. You might also be clenching your teeth together unwittingly which can make your jaws ache. I’m wondering if buying a mouthguard might help. You can get one at a drug store. They’re used to protect teeth for sports. But they’re inexpensive and would work to keep your teeth from clenching…just to see if that makes a difference.

2) Have you switched toothpaste in the past 3 months? Over my decades as a dental assistant there were many patients who had issues with changing mucosa (tissue) in their mouths. Their tongues, sometimes the roof of the mouth and cheeks would peel and slough off. It was due to the harshness of the chemicals in the toothpaste. Switching to a non-whitening toothpaste or one that doesn’t have a harsh peppermint oil would be suggested.

2) If you use a mouth rinse designed to kill germs and it contains alcohol or peroxide, try stopping for a few weeks. You could try a gentle rinse such as Spry, which contains Xylitol and helps promote oral healing.
Easier yet is using a warm, mild salt water rinse several times a day. There are specific bacteria that are normal to our mouths and if it is killed off it changes the flora of the mouth.

3) Do you have acid reflux? That can cause some some changes in your mouth. Do you wake up with your mouth feeling this way?

4) Any change in diet? You mentioned not being able to eat well for the past 3 months. Can you pinpoint the reason? Do your teeth hurt while chewing or is your mouth or tongue burning?

5) Does your mouth feel dry? A dry mouth is frequently the cause of a slimy feel. It can be from certain medications or medical conditions.

I know I’ve asked a ton of questions, but hopefully we can help figure out what’s going on and get your life back to normal. Let me know if any of these things ring a bell for you. Good luck at your appointment tomorrow and let me know what you find out, ok?
