NeutraSal (saliva substitutes) "I had horrible mucositis during my first round of chemo. I was hospitalized for 30 days. NeutraSal mouth rinse has kept me from ever getting a big outbreak of those awful sores again. NeutraSal has been a 'miracle' product for me."

Biotene Oral Balance (saliva substitutes) "I bought a bottle of Biotene spray yesterday. At first I was a little mad. It's a tiny bottle for like $6. I didn't even wait to get home; I opened it in the car. Worth. Every. Penny. I don't know what is in it but it is amazing. In 0.02 seconds my mouth went from feeling like the Sahara desert to your next door neighbor Jimmy's slip'n'slide when he put the baby oil on it. Ok, all jokes aside. Immediately your mouth feels better because its all lubed up, but whatever is in it made me start salivating myself. And it tastes good too. Downside was it made my tongue swell, gave me those painful "lie bumps", made my throat hurt, and hard to swallow. I must be allergic to something in it, but all is good over here. No regrets; would try again."

Biotene Mouthwash (saliva substitutes) "I started taking biotene mouthwash and spray on my own for dry mouth after radiation treatments for my prostate . However within a week I developed hoarsness and change of voice it continues. I am a vocalist. I have stopped for one day and my voice is getting less hoarse. Thank You"

XyliMelts (saliva substitutes) "I'm a mouth breather when sleeping. I've been taking two of these at bedtime and usually two more half way through the night. At first they helped create saliva. I also started getting irritated gums where I attached them - that went away after a couple weeks. Four months later they don't create much saliva, I once again need to take sips of water during the night. The discs turn chalky in my mouth and irritate my throat. When I don't use them it's worse - no saliva, choking, and lots more sips of water during the night. Neither is ideal for a restful night sleep, but they help a little. It may be more effective for others that create some saliva on their own."

Glandosane Peppermint (saliva substitutes) "Has greatly improved my condition. Before use I could not get a sentence out without my mouth drying up completely. I would constantly have to remove strings from my mouth. It was enormously embarrassing and I would avoid conversations with people I didn't know. It's still not perfect as I have to spray if I'm in a conversation but at least I can now have one!!!"

XyliMelts (saliva substitutes) "I've been taking 550 mg of Xylimelts for the past 8 days. I've developed a condition of diarrhea, intestinal gas and hiccups all at once. Please respond if the conditions are the results of taking Xylimelts once a day at evening. Thank you. Bob"

NeutraSal (saliva substitutes) "My Dentist prescribed for me to use after scaling and root planning. He said it would help my mouth heal faster and reduce inflammation. I used it 2x a day and I noticed my gums were not sore and my breathe was fresher. I'm happy with the product."

Caphosol (saliva substitutes) "I have Chemo induced mouth ulcers so had numerous ulcers on entire mucous membrane in mouth and sides of tongue. Used bicarbonate, started using toothpaste for babies and a super cute pikachu toothbrush for babies . Within a week I would say 50 per cent healed. Then at hospital I was told to use this instead for some days. Works well, but other than it being less painful than using dissolved bicarbonate I don’t see the added value with what I believe to be the US list price of around 280 dollars or the price of close to 90 eur in Belgium. I was lucky enough to get for free from my local hospital as the nurses said it’s too expensive, bless them. So I find the medication a ten for efficiency but a 4 for (normal) value for money."

XyliMelts (saliva substitutes) "I was told by my dentist to use these or something like it for dry mouth. I did. They work great. Till they started eating my gums! I thought I had an abscess on one molar, then the other side flared up. Both in the same place I put the melts. Seeing my dentist next week. Hope there is no permanent damage."
