What Causes A Coating In Upper Mouth After Getting Teeth Cleaned?
while getting my teeth cleaned at the dentist, i was getting zapped in the mouth. The hygenist said she must not have been properly grounding herself. He then stopped. However I now have this coating on my upper mouth. I don't understand what is going on.

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
There can be three reasons for this coating on tongue
-first it can be possible that you might have acquired some kind of infection from the instrument.
-second this type if coating occur in candidiasis
-third if you are having a habit of smoking, in that condition a lesion develops called as smokers palate.
Better that once you should visit your dentist and get it properly examined for treatment.
Hope it will help you.
