Dry mouth and thick saliva were pretty much the first side effects and I'm sorry to say they haven't gone away.

Thanks, that is what I figured as dry mouth is a big reason why the dental problems come or makes things worse. I was luckily enough to been researching it back in 2015 after having the brutal dry mouth for the seven prior years but found info. on it and after my research I tried ELECTRICAL STIMULATION ACUPUNCTURE which ironically was just being offered at my cancer clinic for head & neck cancer patients. I was tested to get a baseline and retested after 8-10 appts. and had great results. Never needed to go back and has been a non-issue even with only one working salivatory gland, and I don't have to carry a water bottle with me either to this very day.

Good luck on the journey.
