Thank you Lori. Jean nor I can see the crystals, but she tells me she has to scrape the residue off her teeth. She is taking vitamin D3. That’s what the blood work showed her low in this vitamin. The only way for a specimen would be depositing her saliva into a container for sampling. I’ll mention that to her so she can follow this up with her provider.
Thanks again for you following and making suggestions. ❤️

Hi again, You mentioned this is coming from her teeth? Or gums? If it’s coming from her teeth, that sounds more like a plaque buildup. What kind of toothpaste is your wife using?

I’m not questioning her hygiene. I worked in the dental field for 30+ years and just trying to put on my Sherlock Holmes hat. ☺️ There are certain toothpastes that can leave little particles of the silica it uses to polish the teeth. Just wondering if this might be what she’s experiencing? Is this daily? And if she can scrape these particles off her teeth and put them on a glass slide or the side of a glass to see, that would be a start.
