gums but I hope he knows about that. He was doctor himself but he
don`t know much about herbs and don`t use it. I will send him some
herbs to try bc he have problems talking with dry mouth and operated
tongue.Probably he will try Xylitol and oil too.

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.
