Hello there. So sorry to hear you are suffering in this way. I am too, and, on the advice of a dental doctor, I have come off a fluoride containing toothpaste. He says there is enough research now to identify fluoride as a neurotoxin and suggested that I (with Stage IV breast cancer) did not need memory problems on top of everything else. I couldn’t disagree! Anyway, I am now using Green People Fennel & Propolis organic toothpaste, which I really like and which I think is gentler than the mint based usual toothpastes. I get it on Amazon. Also, a gentle homemade mouthwash of a teaspoon of salt mixed into a pint of warm water may help, and cutting down on acidic fruits. Wishing you all the very best.
I found Oralieve ultra mild toothpaste good. I used all through y chemo as ordinary toothpaste made my mouth feel like it was on fire. Got it from Amazon. Not cheap by I found it extremely helpful. They also do things for dry mouth but they did not work well for me personally.
