My mum is a diabetic and has been complaining for the last year about excessive plaque on her teeth and gums, no matter how much she cleans she feels it. In addition she has had a fine sandpaper like rash on her arms during the same period.
Five weeks ago she had a stroke and she is fixated more than ever now on feeling excessive plaque to the point of gagging, vomiting and constant spitting to expel the plaque. All of the doctors/dentists do not see excessive plaque when examining her mouth. This feeling is causing heightened anxiety and mental fixation during this important time of recovery and repair for stroke.
Theories are - excess sugars in saliva, gingivitis, allergy to medication rash on tongue, nerve damage.
We are unsure what to do to help her?
She is on metformin, ozempic, advair inhaler, amlodipine, gliclazide, bisoprolol, perindopril, pravastatin.
