I try to neb before eating but sometimes that is not possible in which case I will use my water pic, brush my teeth and finally gargle briefly with warm water. I am often amazed at the amount of small food particles this produces. Surely don't want to accidentally inhale that. Bill

I put my Waterpik away when I was diagnosed with Mac and realized I’d have to be so cautious with water.
What kind of water do you use and how do you clean it?

poodledoc. Thanks for that nugget. I'd never thought of inhaling leftover food in my teeth. It is amazing what I spit out with just taking a mouth full of water, swishing it around and spitting out. Seems we learn more each day.
