I had dry mouth from chemotherapy years ago and I did not try any of
those things. I hope they help significantly more than the artificial
saliva stuff I tried---"Salivart" and another one for which I cannot
remember the name. It does seem to me that nothing can begin to come
close to replacing the natural production of the salivary glands. I
hope your brother's salivary glands were not irreparably damaged by the
radiation. If that is the case, I wonder if chewing xylitol gum might
not be better than anything...though, if there are few to no salivary
glands functioning I am not sure chewing gum would do much for your
brother, either. I am very sorry to hear of his condition, as I know it
is very bothersome indeed, and that it can cause significant tooth and
gum damage, as well. In case your brother had not had it emphasized to
him by the doctors, it is extraordinarily necessary for him now to take
the best possible care of his teeth and gums so as to minimize
deterioration of them over the coming years.
Best wishes and best of health,
Elliot
