I can no longer use the stuff I got with the trays in part because the trays don't fit anymore (I had some teeth pulled right before rad and they caused other teeth in my mouth to move around quite a bit--long, frustrating story) but also because that flouride gel really feels like it burns my sensitive gums, tongue aand inner cheeks. So for a while I stopped using anything--which was bad--and then I've been looking for somehting I can use.

Right now I am using an over-the-counter moutwash that my senstive mouth can tolerate--ACT Restoring Mouthwash--twice a day instead of the recommended once a day. I think it helps do what the trays should be doing but is probably not enough. I am very careful to not swallow the mouthwash, and never swallowed the gel either, so I don't think the flouride you get should be an issue.

I'm planning on talking to my dentist more about this next time I see him. It's looking more and more like I will have this surgery this summer to release the trismus in my jaw which should help my dentist get in and see what's happening with my back teeth and maybe make me some new trays. I'm mainly having the surgery because of the need for better dental care than I can get with the limited range of motion I have in my jaw right now. But the whole thing seems neverending.

Anyway, I am curious to learn what other people may be using as flouride treatments since that would help in my conversation with the dentist.
