Braces In Mouth, Have Enlarged Papillae On Tongue, White Streaks On Gums, Dryness In Mouth, Swollen Lips, Burning On Using Bactidol. No Relief With Kamillosan Spray. What Else Can Be Done?

hello. i m having enlarged papillae on my tongue , my taste buds are gone, my gums are having white streaks, having a dry mouth and every morning when i woke up, i have swollen lips but eventually subsides later on the day. i cant tolerate brushing my teeth and gargling with bactidol longer since im having stinging or burning pain. i just had my braces a month ago. my dentist told me this isnt allergy on metal since, if i had, it should have been last month upon putting my braces that these symptoms would occur. he prescribed me kamillosan spray. im using this for 4 days already and i havent seen any effect. help :(

the sole reason for experiencing this problem has to be inadequate intake of water and inability to properly clean the oral cavity. i would recommend artificial salivary stimulate like wet mouth, use of proper brushing technique with orthodontic brush,use of alcohol free mouthwash(which would prevent stinging and burning pain while rinsing) and 3 week course of vitamin c (Limcee) tablet once a day after breakfast.
hope this would solve your problem.
take care
