I was just wondering if anyone has had tooth yellowing or decay since surgery?

With all the protein we drink in protein shakes, I have notice that my plaque buildup is really bad, so I have had to shorten the time between cleanings. About 2 weeks before my schedule cleaning I notice I get some green buildup. I freaked out the first time it happened because I have never even had plaque buildup. I bought a scalar at the drug store so when I see it start to happen I can scrape it off. And don't get me wrong I am a good brusher. It is something to do with the protein. My dentist didn't seem to concerned about it. I rinse with Plax every day and that helps a lot.

I have also noticed my gums are a bit more sensitive but I attributed that to the plaque buildup.

After surgery I got my first cavity as an adult.  Not sure but I guess it is the protein and the chewable pills.

My gums have been sore since surgery, which is a pain when all I do is chew, chew, chew.  I started taking vitamin c and I got one of those flossers that shoots a stream of water through your teeth and things are better but not perfect.

I mix a little tooth paste with baking soda, and peroxide once a week and brush with that to get the yellow stuff off. I have noticed more build up since surgery and I blame the added protein drinks. I also floss before i rinse my mouth out so the baking soda gets in between the teeth too.  i am a compulsive flosser but since surgery, i have to brush and floss a lot more.
