This is so funny that there is a site dedicated to “mouth boogers” LoL. Quite disgusting, i admit, but true. Its absolutely the toothpaste. I just switched to CREST PRO and the better I brush with it the more “Mouth boogers” appear. Needless to say my dentist says that the only tooth paste he reccomends is Crest PRO! So I’m assuming that the toothpaste is just eliminating the bad. Regardless, I’m switching back to my regular brand, where no MB were present.

Thank you SO much for helping me figure out what the heck this is! I’ve had this off and on whenever I’ve used peroxide toothpastes or mouth washes. I, too, am using Listerine Whitening and I’ve noticed LOTS more! Glad I don’t have mouth rot!

I purchased crest pro health and mouthwash in a combo pack. After I used it for around 4 weeks I noticed these patches on the side of one of my cheeks, they would not go away and kept getting bigger until they finally became irritated. They felt very strange to my tongue, like a layer of skin was missing, also I was waking up in the morning with all this skin membrane on my lips. it was horrible, at around 4-5 weeks these burn patches had began to scare me. I thought I had mouth cancer. I barged in on my Dentist twice, both times he said he could see the spot and irritation but thought it would go away? anyway, I knew something was wrong so I went to a specialist - took two weeks to get into the appt, anyway I figured out this all began the same time I started using crest pro health, I have quit now for over 14 days, and one of the burn spots has diminished, but the other is still there, just less sensitive, like its more caloused. The specialist said these scars may not go away, and the one that is left feels very strange, he said if it all came on about the time I began the pro health “common sense would say it was related” that is about all he would say. My teeth were not that sensitive, and this stuff made my teeth very sensitive, gums hurt and ached - wow did this stuff wreck my mouth! These burn patches appear dark pink with lines around them. feel free to email me with questions if you are dealing with the same issues. It can freak you out for sure!

I thought I was the ONLY one who had this problem. Had it for years!!! Depending on what toothpaste I use (usually Ultrabrite), the lining of my cheeks shed in this slimey, stringy and/or booger form. I have to be very aware in the morining at work. Some days there’s more boogers than other days. I take may tongue and scrap my cheeks all morning, because if you smile at someone…WOAH!!!

YAY. I’m not the only one with mouth boogers, and it’s great that someone else calls them that too. I definitely get it after I brush, and it happens for a few days and then not again for a few months. I never thought it might be because of the brand of toothpaste- I think I get it when I use crest pro-health too. It doesn’t really bother me that much- just feels like dead skin, except for when I’m in public and have to remove it. Ew.

I get this “condition” too. Never thought that a side affect of using teeth whitening products would be sticky stringy white film. Some of you said that you noticed it 20-30 minutes after using the Crest/Listerine. Well, I go to bed right after completing the dental duties. Imagine how much of this crapola is waiting to bid me good morning

Oh thank you thank you thank you. I thought it was just me!!!!! I didn’t know if I had caught some strange disease or what!!!!! I noticed it did start shortly after I began using my new listerine whitening (which works so awesome that the “mouth boogers” are wel worth with it). I would never think to file a suit against Listerine for something so ridiculous, not to mention embarrassing. I think I’ll just handle this one as discreetly as possible, thank you very much. Thank you Mr. Steve for the helpful blog I give you two thumbs up!!!!!

I have had this mouth booger problem for years. I always thought of it as mouth slime, but mouth booger seems equally appropriate. Regular old Rembrandt seems to be the only toothpaste I can use that doesn’t do it to me. (I don’t use mouthwash.) I’ve used Colgate, Crest, Sensodyne, Arm & Hammer, and Ultrabrite with the same problem every time, but it always goes away when I switch back to Rembrandt. Only the original though. I recently bought the Rembrandt Intense Stain formula and sure enough, mouth boogers again. I guess I need to give in and just stick to what works, sans mouth boogers.
