My husband has tryed 'BioXtra' and found that the toothpast and mouthwash burnt quit a bit. He has reverted to using the 'GreenBeaver' toothpast which doesn't burn but also doesn't have the important fluoride ingredient.

As for the oral gel spray, my husband said that it stings less and he does use it sometimes at night but he only find it helps a little. Today, he is one month post radiation so maybe this is why everything from mouthwash to pepper still burns his mouth.

Wow Brian thank you for sharing, I am enjoying getting to know you better. You are right, the great leaders are the ones at your side when you least expect it!
