Thanks for sharing, I have never been a smoker and drink very very little so not sure where this is coming from - high stress job (that oddly I don't want to take a leave from) but other than that always been healthy. I will for sure ask about that. Worried about surgery and what will happen on Monday. Thanks again

over 5 years agoLike everyone else, I have been suffering with dry mouth for two years. All you can do is learn to live with it. I use Bioteen spray all the time not only for the dry mouth but for the horrific taste in my mouth. I have gotten prescriptions from my doctor, but nothing seems to work.
I understand how you feel. Just hang in there. Lois Starr
