Plaque. Everyone has it.

Don't just brush your teeth. Brush your gums also. If that doesn't work, try the dentist.

I agree that you need to ask your dentist. My father (85) has been having this while in the hosp. I atributed it to him not being able to clean his mouth due to an NG tube but maybe it isn't. Please let me know when you find out.

Are you holding mouthwash in your mouth until you feel it "burn"? You could be getting a chemical burn from the alcohol in the mouthwash - try using a non-alcohol formulation.

Don't assume/guess anything. Go visit the dentist. He'll cure all.
