Re: Toothpaste Advice
Thank you all for your advice. I have a mouth rinse called Prevention and I have the magic mouthwash script from the onc. My mouth is much better today. What I found with this 3rd round was when I brushed my teeth my tongue felt like it was on fire. Not my mouth, just my tongue.
I also use baking soda & salt with warm water and that seems to really help. I had not experienced the tongue issues until this 3rd round.
Thanks again. I've had a rough week and a half but feeling better today!
