Hey everyone,
I recently had a persistent "weird" feeling behind my lower molar due to a wisdom tooth trying to come in. My dentist checked it and confirmed it's just mild gum tissue irritation with no infection.
What really struck me was the mind-body aspect: while I was eating, the discomfort completely disappeared. But as soon as my focus shifted back, the sensation returned. I realized my constant checking and probing with my tongue was physically re-irritating the spot and keeping my brain's alarm system on high alert.
Has anyone else experienced something similar with jaw or gum discomfort, and how did your recovery go?
