Looking After Your Mouth

Hi Everyone, especially the new members of the community about to start chemo - i just wanted to share with you about looking after your mouth!

It is so easy to get ulcers and mouth sores with the amount of drugs you are about to get put through your system. I am about to have my 5th chemo treartment tomorrow and My amazing dentist recommended Biotene Mouthwash and Toothpaste - you brunsh min twice if not 3 times per day and mouth wash the same if not more.

I have only had one ulcer in 12 weeks and that was due to being run down. This has been a saviour as I have seen other patients in pain because of mouth sores..... I have heaps of other tips that are getting me though as well if you need a hand! But this one was so valuable! xxx
