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?

I take a small sip of olive oil and swish in my mouth. I swallow mine but you could spit it out. My ENT said take some for sure before going to sleep. I keep 2 oz bottles from Walmart and fill them to place around the home.
