Talking What an air head I am...

I didn't even look to see where you are from. Sorry. I have found that my tea tree oil tooth paste is really helping me with the mouth sores and my tissue is still in pretty good shape. You may have to go to a Healthfood store to get tea tree oil toothpaste. I get mine from the states. Cantact if you want info, there is a whole line of products. Lablaws I tink my have it at a Superstore type of place. Try to stay away from any of the "extreme, whitening, polishing" type toothpaste as they are all very harsh and not at all good for long term use. That is why I use baking soda. Non abrasive, excellent for removing tea stains,and helps soothe the tissue . Let me know if you need any more from the "toothfaerie".


I noticed you had Taxol....how did it go for you? What did they give you as a pre med? I had such an awful time with Taxotere that I has said stop until I can regroup and refocus.
