Breath Mints ?

[shareeann 110]

Can I use breath mints after surgery? My mouth just feels awful. I had surgery Sept 29th.

I was told that once you go to soft foods, you can have mints. Cause I bought the Vitamins by Centrum

Biotene spray and mouth rinse both worked wonders for me.

I used Biotene a lot after surgery, too. I'm not sure about breath mints right away - but check with your surgeon's office - they may be fine. I use them now (several months out), but the sugar free kind. The sugar alcohols in sugar free products bother some people's digestive systems, though (not mine - but a lot of people), so start slow just in case (like - one tiny mint...)

My surgeon said I could put a sugar free mint as a flavor in Water , so long as I didn't eat the mint
