Thanks, I do all that, and rinse with aloe Vera juice, coconut oil too, and use biotene mouth wash, toothpaste, after each meal, gum, but returned my water pic since it hurt too much, even on low. Radiation just wreaked havoc on my teeth, in a short period, but what was probably worse was the chemo, which caused worse dry mouth, mucocitis, infection, and other side effects, than radiation, and was in ICU for two months, and no oral care was done, and for a god four months after that. I just remember them using the sponge brushes, suction machine, once in a while, and couldn't even drink water or have ice in my mouth nor cold get out of bed without two nurses, a Hoyer lift. The teeth, if you call it that now, are beyond repair, and past the gum lines, down to the roots, and there is no between the teeth.
