Mouth irritation and sensitivity with autoimmune diseases

Dentist told me that bacteria is most of the problem with dry mouth. Suggested using ACT with xylitol, which kills bacteria. I found an OralB brand that I liked as far as ingredients (No alcohol) and it is good. I also use waterpik. I brush 2X a day, just once with toothpaste. I've used Miracle Mouthwash for mouth sores- it is a prescription.

I do brush with Act, no alcohol/xylitol too…kind of a yucky taste for me though. And, you’re right about the bacteria. I’ll check out the Oral B, maybe it tastes better! And, I’ll ask my doctor about Miracle Mouthwash, it’s got quite the combo of ingredients. I won’t waste my time on nystatin again, it doesn’t work for me and is loaded with sugar. Thanks!
