RE: finally figured out the best floss-mouthwash routine
I've been curious about floss picks myself, but do they really clean as thoroughly as regular floss? My dentist always stresses getting under the gumline...do you find picks handle that well enough?
RE: Hypothetically, if you tried extracting some herbal stuff at home - like oils or tinctures - and it went kinda wrong (maybe too strong or weird smell or something), how would you fix it?
Has anyone actually tried honey and had it backfire? I know you mentioned it's safe, but honestly, I've always been wary of using honey in homemade dental stuff. Sugar - even natural sugar - makes me nervous about caviti...

RE: tips for healing after mouth biopsy?
Did you find the oatmeal and banana combo actually soothing, or just tolerable? I'm scheduled for a biopsy next week and feeling pretty anxious about the whole eating afterward thing. Smoothies were my go-to plan too, bu...
