My parents were wondering if dad should not use the magic mouthwash after trtmnts.   Does anyone know if this is ok to use still?  He's 3 weeks post trtmnt... any thoughts?  I think he thought just to use this for pain!

    Cherie,
    I went through about

    Cherie,

    I went through about 6 bottles of "Oregon" magic mouth wash.  I sip it , swished it and drank it.  When I was finished needing it I quit.  I quit somewhere in the first few weeks after treatment ended.  Matter-of-fact I tried it once down the "time line" road and could not believe I loved it so much, but I did.

    If he needs it, more power to him.  If it  starts to create a problem then consult his doctor.

    Good Luck,

    Matt

    Why Not?

    I used it for about 6 weeks post treatment. Eventually I didn't need it anymore and that was it. If his mouth is still hurting, I don't see any reason not to.

    I used mine

    HARD for a week after treatment.  My doc said to use it as long as I needed to and he'd give me refills if I needed them :)  Hope your dad is doing better each day!
