Re: CF, teeth & diet

Please do post that link!

"(And if the saliva pH is low, "alkalising" drinks can cause havoc - the saliva being unable to negate the effects of the acid, and unable to re-mineralise anywhere near as quickly as the acids demineralise.)"

Hence the importance of an alkalising DIET...NOT quick fixes!

Yowsa! THAT is important info!!

The main thing that I got from that link I gave you was the info on frequency & timing of meals & the importance of dental hygiene, including the TONGUE! Bacteria can hang out in the villi of the tongue....my, oh my...

We use a waterpik with a tongue scraper attachment...seems to work.

Probably NOT the best thing for you to fast on apple juice right now. Eat the apples(increases salivary flow)! & DON"T eat 'em right before bed! :D
