i had the reverse experience...after paleo low carb for over a year my
teeth/gums became extremely sensitive...i had one go "bad" and had to have a
root canal..had a couple of sinus infections(never had any of these problems
before doing the low carb).
my teeth also didn't feel clean as you detail in your experience. i had alot
of build up and my dentist noticed I was experiencing bone loss in my teeth
roots.

so....I gradually upped my carbs(lots of fruit/veg and some whole grains) and
cut back on saturated fat and the condition reversed itself. I experienced no
weight gain..
