Hi,
I had burns, dry mouth, and sores from chemo and radition. Used Nystatin,
Biotene mouth wash (and Biotene tooth paste). All helped. The dry mouth is still
there, but burns and sores are gone. However, I still cannot use a regular toothpaste or mouthwash as hese will burn my mouth. So it's Biotene, etc. forever, probably.

Honey is a helpful product for chemo mouth sores. Also, hard candy to melt in your mouth. Another great product you can get at Whole Foods stores is George's Aloe Vera . It is fractionally distilled (and no citric acid in it) and tastes like spring water.
You may try brushing your teeth with baking soda.
