Charlotte and anyone interested: Almost 2 years ago, my dentist "ordered" me to begin using Biotene products. They consist of mouthwash, oral gel that is placed on the tongue at night, toothpaste, mouthwash and chewing gum. These products can usually be found in Walgreens, Rite Aid, Price Less, etc., here in CA. Sometimes the products are on the outside shelves; other times they're in the pharmacy. Expect to spend a bit more. I've seen the mouthwash, not a large bottle, for up to $6; the gum $1.26; the toothpaste up to $4+, and I can't remember the approximate cost of the gel(long lasting). Price Less has the best prices though. I have found that by using one, two or all of these products plus a Sonicare I have been protected so far. Hope this helps, E of the headdress >Charlotte wrote:>I believe that many of us would have too much saliva, if it were not for drugs that dry out our mouths. Before I took PD meds, and during the very low doses, I had extra moisture always in the corners of my mouth. During the last two years that I've been on medication since diagnosis 3 years ago(didn't use meds at first), the teeth under my crowns and large onlays >developed hidden decay....snip, snip
