Oh wow...thanks for the info on sloughing. I used pro-health a few times and do not like the after taste at all. I also had sloughing but didnt associate it with the toothpaste. Back to colgate total

I found that if you keep chewing things it helps the pain go away. Sort of like when you wake up with a stiff knee but you keep moving it, then it gets better. The side I don't chew food with normally hurt until I practiced chewing both sides

Probably should ask your dentist, but sounds like plaque. Plaque can develop in 24 hours

Thank you both. I was so worried the wrong tooth was moving

I really don't want my molar moving as I have overcrowdin...
