What Causes Squishy Feeling On Gums?
I have a squishy feeling on my gums on the inside of my mouth that my tongue is constantly rubbing. I have no pain or redness to that area. It started when I had a crown done 2-years ago. My dentist assured me the crown is perfect after several x-rays. A panoramic x-ray was also done. I was sent to an endodontist and didn t find anything either. If you could please advise me what I can do to get rid of this annoying habit, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Kim
