I was told to use the trays for 4 minutes daily, and the dentist - this was the specialist who examined me before RT and who made the trays - said that a small line of the stuff squirted into the trays would do the trick. (he gave me a tube of one brand of stannous fluoride 0.4% when I visited him, the name of which I forget; now I'm buying Gel-Kam through Ebay or Amazon)

Some of you have written that you leave the trays in for half an hour. That's a long way from 4 minutes! Is this something a dentist or oncologist recommended? I'll certainly ask my regular dentist about this next time I see him. Ditto the idea of that mouthwash substitute someone wrote about.

Thanks.
