Hi my dad is very uncomfortable with his mouth as well.. what do you think helps? I didn't quite understand your response. Would love to know, he's so miserable. Thank you.

I am sorry I wasn’t very clear.
I mix salt and a tiny bit of baking soda in warm water and rinse daily. This is a prevention and I get less sores because of this.
When I get sores especially the ones in my throat or behind my upper lip, I use the magic mouthwash from my compounding pharmacy. This an amazing pain reliever for the sores. You have to use it several times a day but it works well. You can ask his doctor for a prescription.
Does this answer your questions?
