My dental oncologist told me to buy the over the counter Colgate Gel-Kam. I started off with the berry flavor because they said Mint or Cinnamon would burn for the duration of radiation and the following couple months. I am now using Mint. I was told to wear my trays every night for 10 minutes for the REST of my life but I think I'll make my own rules and make it every other day within the next year or so.
