Hi,
Sounds like your dental care is basically fine.
Michelle, I do know that you need to be careful with the amount of fluoride you put in the trays. You don't want it to spill over into your mouth. The extra stuff can irritate your mouth, and you could swallow it, and it would then upset your stomach. At first, in my zeal to do it just right, I put too much fluoride on the trays. I used to gag after I put the trays in my mouth, but now seem to have gotten over that!
I sure wouldn't omit the fluoride treatments if you can possibly help it. Keep on keeping on, and all of it will get better (I'm telling myself the same thing as I am 2 months out of treatment and have my own issues and bad days)
