I brush my teeth in the morning and brush and floss at night before I go to bed. What is this white/clear filmy stuff that is on my teeth and gums in the morning? It's gross.

If you brush and floss right after bed, it could be residue from the toothpaste. Try to rinse out a little better and brush a bit earlier before you go to bed.
It could also be plaque - try rinsing with a mouthwash and see if anything changes.
It could also be protein buildup from your saliva, which isn't anything to worry about.

White Stuff On Teeth

I keep my teeth and gums in perfect shape. The only times I get this nasty white film on my teeth and gums is when I use Listerine Whitening pre-brush rinse and/or bleaching trays. I do not get it at all, on the days I don't use them. My friend also has the same problem. Hope this helped.
I know what plaque looks like, this is not the same thing as plaque buildup. I'm not saying it isn't plaque, especially if you don't use whitening products, but maybe it is a reaction to your product.

Listen, you need to kick bad hygiene to the curb. The image of your partner says alot about you as well. I make sure I am dress well when i leave the house and in good hygiene because people grade you for your spouse or partner. That is how society acts. That is very unsanitary and you should not kiss him at all.

it's plaque cause by micro-organisms (bacteria) which are naturally present in our mouths - it is the reason why we brush our teeth/floss every morning and night. Otherwise, if we let it build up, we get cavities.

I have a friend like this and all of her teeth are rotting out of her mouth now and I find it completely disgusting! Tell him that you are not kissing him until he brushes his teeth because you think his breath stinks and his mouth looks nasty! Tell him that he would look more attractive if he brushed his teeth. Good Luck

It's plaque... residue of saliva, bacteria, and foreign matter... brushing and flossing are a great start - use mouthwash and it should reduce the plaque.

Could be harsh toothpaste or mouthwash. The film could be mouth tissue injured by the harsh toothpaste/mouthwash. Try using a different more gentler mouthwash/ toothpaste.
