    Hi Denisa,I've sent you an email. And also - have a look at our Ask the Expert section. Our expert dentist Lynsey has answered a question about sore mouths and has recommended some products here.

    Hi

    Depends on the treatment you are on I didn't have mouth problems although it was listed as a side effect.  The only thing I have found is I lose my sense of taste.

    I have checked in regularly with my GP who has been amazing at prescribing appropriate help. You should be getting free prescriptions so I wouldn't go buying stuff in case it's the wrong thing.
