You are 100% correct in your answer. My 86yr old mother starting getting it when she was prescribed calcium carbonate high daily dose of 2500mg as a treatment for her hypocalcemia. Calcium carbonate, aka Tums Rolaids, like baking soda produces execessive dry mouth, which causes the white stringy film in mouth known as cotton mouth.

I had the same stringy stuff and discovered that I cannot use gel toothpaste. My mom had the same reaction.

I only seem to get the stringy stuff when I use a certain mouthwash. I use Pro Health and other Crest toothpaste and it happens when I use the wrong type of Listerene.

My mouth produces lots of plague, I figured it was just that, plague. Maybe it is skin tissue but it’s every day in the morning. I have to scrape it daily

It can also be a sign of Candida which is an over growth of yeast which can be cured by a strict Candida diet.

I did use a different, stronger, white toothpaste and think this is the reason I got it too it’s nasty- need more mild toothpaste

This helped a lot because I just brushed and this stringy stuff came in my mouth right after I used this toothpaste that made my mouth super dry, so I think that’s what happened to me.
