I use the BioXtra toothpaste, it doesn't leave your teeth gritty or go frothy like the regular kind.
For saliva spray, which i need at work especialy, i use A.S Saliva Orthana. Has a REALLY mild mint taste. Although i was reccomended the Biotene products as apparently they have no flavour??? I'd be interested to know if thats right. It's not nice tainting my lunch with minty spray *lol*
& of course the trusty water bottle.
There are gums and lozenges too. But they're no good for me because you need at least a limited amount of saliva to get them working!
All the best,
Michelle

Hi Dave & Sue, each member seems to have their own favourites, but Brian found the BIOTENE products to be the best. Oral gel/ toothpaste/ mouthwash & chewing gum if you can manage it, can all be obtained by prescription.
Cant tell you about Pilocarpine, but Im sure one of the others will. All the best.

Hi Chelle, just tasted the Gel as Brian cant taste! It has an unremarkable sweetish flavour.

Thanks Fran!
Might give them a try!
One saliva spray i was given was this awful citrus lemon! Yikes that made my eyes water a bit! *lol* & it shot out like an aerosole can! Great design that was!
