Mouth Cleaning - 03-09-2014 06:49 PM
Nearly three weeks after surgery and finding it hard to clean my mouth. I can't gargle and swish and I'm almost out of the green swabs supplied by the hospital. Someone gave me a little pointed syringe to swish water onto the flap but I'm struggling with that, getting my body wetter than my mouth.
I have long thought of investing in a waterpik but feel that right now would be too early to use it. I need a gentler, more manageable syringe than the one I've got and I'm going to have to order some swabs online. There doesn't seem to be a New Zealand outlet.
I have a very stiff jaw which also makes things hard.
Any ideas?
