@lacy2 Have you thought to ask your dentist and hygienist to wear a face shield and mask when treating you? Most are very accommodating. I explained to my hygienist about being immunocompromised, she was so helpful. They even changed one appointment because another staff person had a very bad cold. I hate to skip dental visits because oral health is so important especially when my immune system isn’t the greatest. It sounds like you’re doing a great job with the baking soda. My oncologist had me using a salt and soda rinse as a mouthwash. Kept the whole mouth clean and free of germs.
