Why Do My Teeth Feel So Dirty?

[Kymbesha 3]

am having the hardest time keeping the film off my teeth since I started liquids pre-op. Since they are mainly sugar-free, is it Protein that is coating my teeth? It's a horrible feeling, I wanna brush every hour.

Hi, I'm getting the same thing and I'm 4 weeks post op. I believe it has something to do with the Protein Shakes. Hopefully it changes when normal food is reintroduced. :-(

Does this also cause like 'dry mouth'.. It's crazy dry all of the time..

[purpleamy 7]

I do believe it does. I just drink more Water.< /p>

I also have dry mouth! And the film on my teeth! I think the Protein has a lot to do with it! I'm brushing constantly!

As a post op pt (5 months) and a dental hygienist this drove me nuts. I feel its the protien and all of the chewable/liquid Vitamins. Make sure you are all using a soft toothbrush and brushing slowly in circles at the gum line. Don't forget to brush your tongue too. It helps & you should feel better. It passes. I also would suck on sugar free Mints.

Me too! But its only the back of my top two teeth. I thought I was going crazy. So glad to hear there's a reason for it! What a relief!
