Eat sorbet,popsicles,icees,anything without dairy,brush after everytime you eat, rinse with original listerine (yellow), make sure you're brushing the barbell and tongue on top and bottom, make sure you're getting the rinse into the hole;move your tongue up and down on the bar while your mouth is full of listerine,then suck on ice cubes.....:jointsmile::thumbsup:


oh and you can take ibuprofen for swelling too!
