[quote=ChristineB]Rinsing your mouth a few times per day with a mixture of 16 oz warm water, 2 tsp baking soda and 2 tsp salt. If it burns, decrease the salt or omit it, but try to manage with some salt in the mixture. This will help with the ph balance in your mouth as was as help with healing. [/quote]My RO gave me the following formulas:
Mix 2/3 cup hydrogen peroxide plus � cup warm water,
or mix � teaspoon salt + 1 teaspoon baking soda + 1 quart water. (different than formula in previous post)

He said to rinse, swish, or gargle 20 to 30 times daily. I also use the salt/baking soda/water mixture with a foam brush to brush all reachable surfaces several times daily. HTH

Thanks, Christine, I will mix a batch of your formula and try it after finishing my current batch.
