Sore tongue still after 14 months post treatment

I used Difflam spray and Biotene gel...helped a lot

Hi Micheal,did you get a sore tongue after 14 months?

2 years in and I still get a sore tongue.  I immediately know if I have eaten something that sets me off - even in the smallest of quantities.  I don't think it is going to improve now, but I am used to it and manage it quite well.

Yes ...the tenderness takes time to settle down...the treatment is very hard on our oral cavity....Duraphat toothpaste was quite harsh for a while...OK now...nearly 3 years post treatment.

Hi Peter ,do you use anything to calm it down or just let it take its course? 

Thank youn

Thanks for replying Micheal

Yeh duraphat has an effect on my throat and tongue!

Hi Mark it’s something)ng that can affect all of us. Today I was having lunch with our daughter and wham mustard set my tongue off . I have bioxtra mouthwash on prescription which is a ph neutral one and in early days/carried a small bottle around wit( me. Now I just use ut at home. Intend to know my triggers the mustard on the us occasion was in a salad dressing.!

don't stress about it it will get easier

I just let it take its course and am wary of foods that will set it off.  The main issue is dry mouth which I use Biotine gel for at night.  Letting my mouth dry out does cause pain.  Water and gum during the day sorts it when I am awake.  Xylimelts are another option but I don't get on with them.

On the toothpaste I have the 5000 and 2500 tubes. I should be using the 5000, but I have a couple of tubes of the 2500 to use up so I use that when I want a quick freshen up rather than a proper fluoride coating.  I find the 5000 quite acceptable but the 2500 can occasionally be very painful on my mouth.  Aside from the fluoride I don't know what is different between the two!
