What Makes An Elderly Female Feel Her Teeth Are Coated?

My 87 year old Mother says her teeth are coated with something that peels off. Bruching her teeth helps a bit but not much. Her dentist doesn't know what she's even talking about. What could be causing this? My sirst thought is medication but I can't find anything about this. Any ideas?
