  • Hi

    I stumbled upon one from TK Maxx called 'Grin', I'm not sure if it's available regularly there, it came with a bamboo toothbrush in a little zip bag. It was the only toothpaste I was able to tolerate during my chemo, totally natural, no  fluoride.

    Good luck

  • Hi Kazam, sorry to hear about your diagnosis. It's just awful news. We've been through it all before and now here we are again. I was only on a chemo drug which has now stopped working but onc considering Capectibane.  He hasn't ruled out IV chemo down the line but hoping to manage a while on the drugs. I was just wondering,  if your mouthwash is working OK, would it be possible to just brush your teeth with a soft toothbrush and a bit of lightly salted water if you can't tolerate a toothpaste and then just rinse with the mouthwash? Just an idea?

    Good luck with your treatments ongoing Fingers crossed
