Well, given what the world, and here in NYC metro area, has been going through, I really have not thought about it much and it seems like an off and on situation. My Physician at NYU had never experienced what I explained, wanted me to see my Dentist. I got teeth cleaned...he checked everything out and said he honestly had never experienced it either! It started about 5 months ago, and there was no change in the meds I was taking. Very dry mouth. Got Biotene lozenges and helped but not long. I still take a few. But the mystery seemed to be this overproduction(not huge), but noticeable to me! They both concluded while it's annoying, they couldn't see anything serious! I wish there was a saliva gland doctor that I wouldn't mind seeing when this isolation period and this disastrous situation is
over. The World will certainly come out of this a changed place...good or bad, we'll see(I say good!:). Thx for checking in. If any thoughts arise, or some oral, gland specialist appears, maybe I can get an answer! Stay safe
