Hi everyone. Me again!!
Day 7 of RT today .
I'd like some advice on teeth brushing ,/ mouth wash routine please ,ie what order to do what ?
Last night I found my gums very sore using my normal brush ,so I will be going onto my soft one ,supplied by the dentist and still use my interdental brushes.
I have anti inflammatory mouth wash , durophat paste , and bioxtra rinse for saliva help , which order is the best each time I do my oral care please ?
Yet another question !!

Hi.
I couldn’t use Duraphat for a year because it made my mouth so sore. Hence the varnish which protected me.
So morning was a brush with Oranurse before breakfast.
Brush at lunchtime and before bed.
All the other stuff slotted in as needed but not for 30 minutes after brushing.

PS
interdental brushes morning and night
I had to resort to thinner ones as RT progressed

No just in the morning when your mouth has had time to build soft plaque overnight. Use Oranurse after eating.
So clean before food ? Mmm

during treatment I was using a soft Tepe toothbrush and Oronurse SLS free toothpaste.. mouthwash was Caphosol and Difflam throughout the day.. stopped flossing/using interdental brushes as gums were too sore
