Since replacing the meat in my diet with mostly fruits, dried fruit, and potatoes, I found my teeth and gums sore after eating a certain amount of meat. I could eat a whole 12oz steak before without problems. Now, if I eat any around 3oz of meat or offal, my teeth and gums feel sore. Doesn't matter if the meat is chewy or soft; half my meat intake is liver/tendons/tripe. This problem doesn't happen with seafood.
I had a dental checkup a week ago, and the dentist said it was because I hadn't cleaned my teeth in a long time (the last cleaning was 3 years ago). He found nothing wrong with my teeth or gums. I got my teeth cleaned at that visit. My teeth and gums still get sore after meat though.
I searched around for toothache and painful gums, but most are related to chewing. I'm pretty sure this problem isn't from chewing...
Any ideas??
