Hi...I'm a dentist in California. I met a pt. yesterday who has seen two other dentists and ENT for a slimy feeling on this teeth, and in the sulcus lower anteriors. He feels like his buccal mucosa is sloughing off yet nothing is visible. He says it isn't his upper denture adhesive. Started right after bleaching of the lower three anterior teeth. Any thoughts?
I suppose that your oatinent has developed an excessive salivation after bleaching on his teeth, i suppose that this could be an allergic reaction, first of all you just prescribe him with a good mouthwash gargles thrice daily, it has drying effects for a week and see the changes, also check any problem in the appliance worned by him, if not certain medications are also available in the market to reduce the excessive you can try them..
Hope you find this as helpful,
Regards....
