Hello
Things were going well 8 months post treatment…but I seem to have hit a buffer in that suddenly my tongue, mouth and gums flared up quite ferociously. Seriously not comfortable. I suspected the Duraphat which I had been told both to brush with 3 times a day and use in dental trays and which I understand has form in this area. I stopped using the stuff ( using some sensodyne which I used to use pre treatment) and a couple of days later things in my mouth are starting to settle. Unfortunately my sense of taste, which was returning nicely has taken a number of steps backwards and I’m almost back to the ‘everything tastes of cardboard’ of the immediate aftermath of treatment. Sigh!
Is this normal? Does it take an age to resolve? Is there any other high fluoride toothpaste I can buy which could replace the Duraphat but which isn’t quite so vicious? Or will it be a case of settling things down and returning to the Duraphat until the next flare up? Any advice gratefully received.
Liz
