Dentist made house visit yesterday. He recommended use of tongue scraper, in addition to continued use of Biotene toothpaste & rinse, baking soda/salt solution, and flouride trays. Cleaning will wait another month, as he pronounced oral hygiene excellent, with no evidence of problems at gumline.

Another issue settled for now. Lottie
