Collected Thoughts

I know how annoying it is not to be able to use tooth-whitening products, but it's better to have yellow teeth than destroyed gums. One cheap & easy thing to do--drink plenty of water! Not only is a moist mouth better for your health than a dry mouth, but water is good for washing away bacteria and the stains left behind by anything else you've been drinking. Sugar-free gum is also good for keeping your teeth & gums healthy since it encourages saliva production and helps push food particles out from between your teeth. Biotene gum is specially formulated with enzymes or something to help protect your teeth.

I wish you luck with your dental stuff. Since I now am expected to go to a dentist 4 times a year for as long as I still have teeth, I can sympathize with anyone else's mouth problems!
