I have been using Sensodyne toothpaste and still get the stringy white things in the morning when I wake up.

Actually, I too am now convinced, that it is the Crest Pro Health toothpaste, that is causing this white stringy like substance in the mouth after waking up. I never had this problem. It only started, when I started using the Crest Pro Health toothpaste. Thank you for the above post.

I️ know a white tongue can also indicate dehydration. I️ have been skiing and not drinking enough. The emergency room doctors said to look at the tongue and if it had a white coating that what it was.

It could be the oral mucosa peeling and can be caused from certain toothpaste and mouthwash use. This is similiar to exfoliating of the skin. I would ask your dentist on the next visit.

My mom is experiencing the same problem. did you ever find out what was causing it?

I agree. The hydrogen peroxide in the mouthwash will produce that stringy stuff. U can still use it just rinse good with water afterwards

I have the exact same problem and it started shortly after I began using listerine whitening pre-rinse mouthwash before I brush. It feels like I’m swishing a mouthful of hydrogen peroxide. At first I figured it was because of the mouthwash doing it’s job and getting rid of yucky stuff in my mouth but I started to worry and googled it and it led me here. This response makes perfect sense.

I have had this problem for quite a few years now and I know that I do not drink enough water. I have been told by my ENT specialist to drink water water water which I find hard to do. Now I am convinced the mucus in the mouth is due to dehydration and in future I will be drinking much more water and aim for 6 cups a day. Will report on my condition in a few months to let you know the result.

This never happened to me until I started used listerine before bed... I would stop using listerine before bed.
I'll try it out and see if it helps. I dont even use toothpaste, i use misiwak and floss, and never had this issue until using listerine.
I read online it could be "good bacteria" in the mouth... But what if it's not?
