Plaque Build up on Teeth Post VSG?

I have never in my life had a problem with Plauque Build up. I brush regularly and I get regular cleaning and checkups. All of the sudden I have plaque on my teeth worse than I have ever seen. Has anyone else encountered this?

Could it have something to do with the protein shakes? I have also noticed some build up on my tongue.

Sorry if this grosses you out.

I have a coating of something icky in my mouth, tongue, teeth and I attribute it to ketosis. I have been flossing and brushing and gargling more frequently to combat this.

Yep...It has a lot to do with the protein shakes.  I get it really bad on my bottom teeth.  Yuck.  I try to brush after each protein shake.  Not practical, but it works.  I like those little portable wisp tooth brush things for when I'm driving or at work or whatever.  :)

I have noticed it, too!   And, I have not had a shake for well over a year.
Much, much worse on the inside of my bottom teeth. 

I thought I was trippin cause I noticed it also   .... so gladd you posted this now i know i am not crazy... lol

If you're getting a thick fuzziness on your tongue that you can brush off, but your tongue is sore underneath - get your Dr to check it. It could be thrush.

Yep. Being brushing and flossing.  Couldn't figure it out.  Mostly on my bottom teeth.

 Behind my front teeth.  Not protein shakes, because I don't drink them.

 No, but you are probably eating more protein than you normally would.

 Definitely true. 

I wonder if the low carb diet changes the ph of our saliva or something and causes more build up?
