Hi Cindylb, I have had Sjogrens since I was a teenager and now I am 79. I was so lucky to have met a dentist -30 yrs ago-who had experience with dry mouth etc. He said to be careful with toothpaste and mouthwash, as most have a drying agent! He told me to use the Biotene products- toothpaste, gel and spray. I have trouble taking pills as my throat is so dry so I spray my throat with the Biotene spray and then I don't choke!! I have had multiple surgeries- hip cataract- brain- and the anesthesiologists all have told me it's ok to spray my mouth with the Biotene spray before the surgery. Since I have the Sjogren's dry cough, the spray really helps. These are over the counter products and not very expensive. Oh, the gel helps get rid of mouth sores! I hope this helps.
