Recently, a fan friend came to inquire about a question that arises in daily life: "Why is there often a white filament in the mouth? It seems that a layer of oral mucosa has fallen off, especially after brushing teeth, what is going on?"
What is the cause of white filaments in the mouth?
1. Toothpaste/mouthwash
If there are white filaments in the mouth after brushing your teeth, it may be that the foam of the toothpaste has not been cleared, which causes the filaments to appear. At this time, you can rinse your mouth with water and clean it up.
It is also possible that the toothpaste/mouthwash contains high fluoride or sodium lauryl sulfate, which can easily cause the oral mucosa to peel off. This is the time to change the type of toothpaste and reduce the frequency of mouthwash.
2. Food residues
If you eat some white foods, such as milk, white porridge, etc., and do not clean the food residues, there may be white filaments in the mouth. At this point, you can remove the food debris by rinsing your mouth or cleaning your mouth again.
3. Necrotic mucosal tissue
The human body has a gradual process of replacement and replacement, so the oral mucosa itself may be detached from the necrotic mucosal tissue. Pay attention to oral hygiene and clean up your teeth carefully when brushing.
In addition to the above, if there are often white filaments in the mouth and there are also painful symptoms, it is necessary to pay attention to the presence of oral problems such as mouth ulcers or thrush. If these white mucosal covers cannot be erased, it is necessary to be alert to oral leukoplakia.
At this time, it is necessary to treat the symptoms, and the presence of oral ulcers can be treated with drugs such as ice boron powder and oral ulcer powder, and thrush can be treated with nystatin tablets, fluconazole capsules and other drugs.
Note: The use of drugs must be in accordance with the doctor's instructions, and do not use drugs without authorization.
