Barb and Joanna, thank you so much for this info. I will relay this info to my brotehr. He doesn't have the patience to email nor the stamina to sit and type. So I am doing the asking. He is brushing regularly, flossing, tongue scraping and pretty much everything he needs to do with his mouth. In fact the Docs and Dentist are really happy with how his mouth looks. It is healing however the other day his breath was pretty bad. Just worrisome cause his breath got so bad before treatment when the tumor was growing. Bu there isn't a tumor there now and wnated to know if anyone else had bad breath after the fact.
