All of my life I have experienced peeling
in my mouth, however mostly after I drink
water after exercise. I attributed it to
having a dry mouth while working out.
Anyway, I have started to have it in the
mornings. I'll wake up and have "sheets"
of skin just peel from the inside of my
lips and cheeks. It doesn't hurt it's
just a major inconvenience. It seems to
continue once I get to work and drink
water or pop....And my lips/cheeks will
continue to produce loose skin for about
an hour after i'm at work.
Could it be that my mouth is just getting
so dry at night that when I get up and
produce saliva that it triggers this
shedding? And then happening again once
I get to work and drink liquids again?
Anyone heard of such a thing?

Peeling Gums Posted: 12-18-03 18:32pm
Hi, I am relieved to hear someone has had
the same problem. I suffer from the same
problem. I have noticed I suffer from
peeling gums and lips more when I use a
whitening toothpaste for example from
colgate or macleans. I now use a
different toothpaste and dont really
suffer from the problem. I also mentioned
this problem to a dentist I work with, he
said he also suffered when using certain
products.
I do understand, it feels horrible when
you move your tongue on your gum and you
end up with a layer of skin, but you must
try different types of toothpastes.
i have the same problem, mostly when I use
a new toothpaste or eat salt and vinegar
potato chips (which I love so it sucks) I
talked to my doctor and they told me the
same thing I found in the document I
linked.... Nothing to be worried about,
just a nucience.... :)
