I too have dry mouth,and the last ear,nose ,throat guy said I would have to live with it..Salagen works very little,accompanied with hot flashes..One of the worst byproducts are bad teeth..I have had 7 cavities since finishing my treatments..which ended 1 year ago..Must pay special attention to brushing,flossing.and floride..anyone found anything that increases saliva??..If so let me know...Prays too all..Tom

HI Tom , I too get dry mouth very often specially when trying to sleep and it wakes me up.

TEETH omg welll ALL mine have gone black and one by one the Dentist takes out the nervers but not before they have come infected and driving me crazy.
They are going to take them all out eventually but thats another story.
All the best

PS> Have you seen Vickie?

Hey Paul...So far just alot of fillings but still cannot drink cold things..teeth very sensitive..sorry to hear about Yours..Biotene mouth wash helps some right before bed..I'm now up to about an hour before waking and having a drink of water..Well gotta go and plant some cactus as I live in the desert 50 miles out of Las Vagas..Good things to You..Tom

Hello Paul--sorry Tom. This is your dry mouth slot. But Pau; Vicki posted today under 'General Chat' in reply to Clare asking about anti-depressants.
Tom. My problem is too much saliva. But I found that water, not ice-cold but slightly warm, gargled around the moutgh was good. I thinkl when we have inflamed throats we shpouldn't stick to ice-cold drinks. But then I find that ice-cream helps if I have a sore throat. So you don't really know!
Wow, planting cactus sounds so exotic. I planted some tulip bulbs today which sounds very tam,e in comparison!#

Hi Tom join the club of the we won't dribble in old age, oh to lick a stamp on. Well, teeth cleaning is a must, get little brushes for in between the teeth better than floss, put paste on the brushes and pass between every tooth, never eat between meals, keep a bottle of water by the bed and drink sips, problem is you can manage about two hours without a drink, and you wake up exhausted.Swill out mouth and spit as much as you can, as it will help dryness, the artificial saliva is useless. Chew Gum all the time. Garance, Courage mon Brave
