Daughter Chewing Wall

I have caught my three year old chewing on the blinds on the window by her bed after I put her to bed. It is front teeth only so I don't think it is a teething thing. She has also chewed on the wall near the window. It is not an everyday thing, but it seems odd. I have googled it and she does not otherwise seem to have a sensory disorder, so I am not sure if this is normal. Should I be concerned?

I would get her teeth and gums looked at there could be an infection going on causing her to want to chew,it may also be a habit, blind strings can be dangerous tie them up, stop her chewing/playing with them...asap
