Lack of saliva cevelimine doesn’t work this is a new device does it w

Passed on to me by oral pathologist, but she doesn’t know anyone heard of it or, better yet know anyone who tried it?
http://saliwell.com/ seems to good to be true, but its difficult living without saliva. They claim to beFDA approved. But there are some issues with medical devices .
Also unsure if covered by insurance.. maybe if prescribed. Seems fishy, but might be worth a try. Would feel better if anyone had experience with it. Please rely with thoughts or personal knowledge.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Autoimmune Diseases Support Group.

I’m a Registered Dental Hygienist, retired. I’ve read the journal articles on SaliPen. They didn’t use many patients in their studies, in my opinion. Not to say it isn’t effective for some. IT LOOKS LIKE THE PRICE IS $249 AMERICAN.

I’ll ask my online groups of other hygienists if their patients are using this item and I’ll report back to you soon. I do see how it could stimulate salivary flow though, as even a Sonicare toothbrush stimulates my own low salivary flow.

I posted a question to my online dental hygienist’s magazine group, asking hygienists all over the country if their patients use the SaliPen and what their results have been. Not one person has yet responded with a patient who uses it, but hundreds are interested in knowing more about it for their own information and patients. Sure wish I could have given you a better answer, @cblue.
