What Causes A Mucus Like Substance Coming From Teeth's?

What is mucus like substance in mouth that seems to be coming from around teeth? I do drink a lot of concentrated lemonade. Just out of curiosity I have not drunk lemonade for several days. Mucus is still there but not as much. Could this be the enamel?

Dentist 's  Response
Hello:)Welcome to HCM.

You must be confusing saliva to something else.Lemon has a tendency to increase salivary flow, so there can be a increased flow when you have it.

However, I suggest you to rule out any periodontal problem with your dentist.

This is not enamel, enamel is hard substance in the tooth.

Hope this helps.
