I had 1/3 of my tongue removed. I take B12 shots monthly. I order zellies dental mints, xylimelts for dry mouth from Amazon. I also use Super B's vitamins. Super B's may lower blood pressure. They all help but constant battle. My Dr also recommended using small amounts of olive oil.

Thanks for posting the info about olive oil. I have horrible dry mouth and have not been able to find anything helpful for it. Most seem to love Biotene, but xylitol (According to the National Institute of Health in June of this year) has negative cardiovascular implications. Biotene products never do much for me so I use them to excess. That makes the cardiovascular thing a no no for me and my old people ailments.☹️Happy to hear about olive oil! Can you tell me how to use it?
