The Swallows box

The Mucosamin is going to come in handy. The toothpastes are all ok but you will probably be given Duraphat. Can I see a sachet of BioXtra mouthwash? That’s what I use. It’s soothing and emollient 

I’m not familiar with the toothbrush. I managed to use an electric one on a gentle setting with a gentle head  Lots can’t and found one made by Curaprox to be better 

You’ll likely  be given Gelclair, Caphosol and Difflam mouthwashes  and an explanation of how to use them.  I strongly suggest you do  

The mints are going to be impossible after a couple of weeks till you are well healed. 
Good luck and keep in touch with us 

Hi Sue.  I still can’t use Durophat as too strong.  I use the oranurse toothpaste which I think I can see in your box

I couldn’t use Duraphat for nearly two years. I had a fluoride varnish at the hygienist every three months to make up for it and used Oranurse like you. 

Hi Dani.   Yes, I actually go to hygienist every month as I have a ‘pocket’ behind the back tooth which causes problems!!!!!! And I have a fluoride varnish every 3 months.  Lizzie x

Thank you, certainly will keep in touch, I think this life line will be invaluable in thee we weeks and months to come.

Hi Sue

All I would add is that I used a baby toothbrush for several weeks during treatment because I couldn't tolerate anything else. I don't know if the bamboo toothbrush is similar? x

Interesting, as I have been prescribes 6 tubes from the dentist, I’ll have to see how it goes

Yes, I bought one in readiness

I’m wondering about flouride varnish after this, I’ll adk my hygienist

Hi yes I have fluoride varnishes every 3 months. You may have to wait until your mouth settles down after treatment. But I think they are worthwhile. 
The toothbrush I used was a Curoprox one with over 5000 bristles very gentle.
