@peggydobbs My dentist has breast cancer, and she said that AIs are generally drying. She suggested OTC sugarless gum and hard "candy" but basically she emphasized staying hydrated, with frequent small sips of water. And also, as you note, staying current with cleaning.

@peggydobbs I don’t have any issue with saliva problems. I have a lot of teeth issues as well. But not caused from AI’s. If you have dry mouth try gum chewing or candy sucking. The main thing for me with a lack of saliva is mouth sores. Ugh
