Hi Tracey; Even way up here in the cold boonies of Canada they make an effort to help us keep our teeth..so good for you for being persistent.
There are so many issues that we deal with during the course of this battle, one less is a positive direction to head in.
All the best to you as your journey begins. You will find a good listening ear always at this site for any and all the frustrations/worries that can and do arise. This will be the experience of your life, and worth every ounce of determination you can put into it.
My oral hygiene tip to add to the others. Get a good electric toothbrush. It just swishes out all those bits that little or no saliva leaves behind. It also sets a good minimum time for brushing (2mins)
Like so many others on this site I rely on use of the Biotene products, toothpaste, mouthwash and mouth gel..easy on the tender tissues and good results.
Keep us posted,
Cheers, Fran
