[Dysphagia] Oral hygiene
Can someone provide me with a reference to literature that says that 50%
h2o2 is toxic to the oral mucosa? I've seen it referenced several times on
the list, but all the research that I ahve read says the cholorhexedrine or
any alcohol based cleanser is the one to avoid In the last year, we have
changed our oral care policies and now use 50% h2o2 or the Sage products
with peroximint.
Thanks,
Gerriann

I am using the Water Protocol under very controlled conditions with one
young man who has profound mental retardation. He can have as much thin
water to drink as he wants, after careful oral hygiene. The oral hygiene
program uses a toothbrush and a pea-size piece of toothpaste, and then uses
the toothbrush dipped into antibacterial mouthwash, brushing all intraoral
surfaces. He has done very well with this protocol, for over two years, and
I would like to see it expanded to giving him a cup that is kept constantly
filled with water, to drink whenever he wants, all day long, in all
settings.
