Not really a bad thing to brush and floss after every meal. While those days are only a memory to me now, my oconological dentists kept repeating: Meticulous Oral Hygiene was now a requirement. That included using fluoride trays every night also. If you have not seen a dentist who specializes in post TX cancer patients, you might want to ask for a referral from your medical team. Without proper saliva you are at a very high risk for dental caries. And let me assure you that no matter how slow you are eating, you are a speed demon in comparison to my steady drip drip drip down the old PEG.
It will get better and better as time goes bye.
