I have been noticing my teeth are getting more disgusting as time goes on. I used to have&nbsp;relatively&nbsp;white pearly teeth. AND now, they're all yellowish and murky looking. I've been getting more white spots too. I also notice that no matter how much I brush and brush and floss I can <i>still &nbsp;</i>see a film over my teeth! ugh. Also, my&nbsp;tongue&nbsp;can never be brushed clean (even after mouth washing it's still have a residue over it). Anyone else have this problem? Is it from coughing mucus up into my mouth all day long?&nbsp;<div><br></div><div>I do inhaled tobi, pulmo. cayston, saline. the usual. Along with advair and albuterol (inhalers not nebbed).&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>I'm also on some strong antibiotics. Minocyline and Zyvox.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Are there certain meds that tend to destroy/yellow our teeth? Does coughing up mucus wear out the enamel? Anyone have any ideas on this?&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>I'd really like to start whitening my teeth but I don't want to wear out my enamel if it's already being thinned by my meds! I'd rather have yellow teeth over cavities.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>I just moved to Baltimore so I don't have a dentist lined up yet. So in the meantime I figured it couldn't hurt to ask around the forum and see if anybody has any healthy teeth tips.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>*I do everything that I'm supposed to for my teeth. Brush, floss, mouthwash etc.*&nbsp;</div>
