Peeling in mouth: Did you burn or injure your mouth? This would cause the skin to peel. If not it should be checked by your dentist for signs of infection, thrush, leukoplakia or oral cancer. Any abnormal changes in your mouth should be checked by your dentist or an oral surgeon.

Peeling: Peeling is not a normal thing to happen. May be from burn or mechanical irritation. May be overlying infection such as Thrush. Listerine is not a "fix." Please schedule an appointment with your Dentist for evaluation and appropriate treatment..
