A member asked:
Why do i keep getting a chalky, slimy taste on my teeth and the walls of my mouth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bacteria ?: The bacteria that normally lives in your mouth will adhere to your teeth and form a plaque. Do you feel this in the morning when you wake up? Does it come off when you brush your teeth? This is perfectly normal if it is plaque. You can have your dentist take a look if you would like to be sure.
