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.

Everyone has this... it's plaque.
When you sleep, your salivary glands and ducts are dormant, so saliva isn't as active as when you're awake, speaking, eating, etc... |

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. |

It is nothing but overnight plaque build up. Nothing to worry about. |

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. |

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. |
