Question : I,m having a film n my mouth every morning and lesser during the day. It has been going on now for a few months. My teeth are fine, been to the dentist, no bad breath. My hygienist said it looked I was shedding my skin from the roof of my mouth and to stop using mouthwash but I don't use mouthwash. I'm 66 and in good health, I think. Should I go to a mouth specialist or what?
