YW. It's usually after radiation they spray your mouth. You may be able to get similar results using a Waterpic, and putting saline solution in the resevior, but I don't know if it's irrigational saline or another type, but check with the doctors.

Adequate protein also helps with healing. Some say 1/2 gram protein for every poud of weight, some say 1 gram for everyone protein for a pound of weight. Ask your medical team and or dietician, nutritionist.

Good luck.
