I hear your concern with mouth care. My teeth are doing fine after 6 surgeries, 3 requiring hospitalization. It's OK if you miss a few days of fluoride, brushing and flossing... at least, I can say that I'm doing fine and I've missed more that a few days along the way. You might want to take a bottle of Biotene mouthwash into recovery. A swish or two might feel pretty good, and an antibacterial rinse couldn't hurt.
