During my training to become a Certified Nursing Assistant I worked in a state funded nursing home in the rural south. The first patient on my rounds was a very small very bed ridden elderly woman, she was in end stage dementia combined with a laundry list of other ailments one of which she was given a medication for that caused a blackish-brown buildup to form on her teeth (or that is how it was explained to me) every night, and in the morning this buildup would need to be scraped away early on because if it was left it would solidify and literally cement on her teeth. The smell of this ‘gunk’ was gag inducing. It was that stale morning breath gingivitis scent combined with what I can only describe as rot and mildew, COMING FROM HER MOUTH. It was horrid, acrid and every time I think about it my throat closes up as an involuntary response. 🙁
