How bad is it going to taste?

Bruised the right side of the roof of my mouth by stupidly eating toasted avocado chips too fast, and a few must have poked up there. Home remedies weren't working so the dentist gave me an antibiotic rinse this am. It says use after breakfast and before bedtime

The hygienist said it's recommends those times because some complain of an after taste, and on the bottle it said don't try rinsing immediately with water to dispel the taste. Not exactly making me want to use it, but I know I have too. 🤢

I need to remind myself of this everytime I am tempted to eat too fast.🤦?♀️

You could try rinsing your tongue without swishing the water around your mouth. Earth-shine Mar 7 #5

spot because it is now swollen.

The orajel type medicines really help I think. And I just gargle with peroxide

particularly bothersome. It can help your mouth feel better. Don’t worry.

I do this sometimes to get the annoying taste of toothpaste out of my mouth while retaining some on my teeth and gums.
