What do i do if i keep getting a sort of chalky, furry feeling on the surface of my teeth if i don't brush my teeth?

Brush those teeth : This may sound overly obvious........Brush your teeth and don't forget to floss as well ! that chalky or furry feeling is most likely a protein from your saliva that is coating your teeth and just needs to be mechanically removed, i.e. Brushing and flossing.
