Saliva substitutes topical for Xerostomia "Have used XyliMelts for years for dry mouth at night. Definitely helps with sleep. Sometimes the area of the gum where I put the XyliMelts is a little sensitive, but worth it for the sleep. Have tried other products, but these are the best. I am 80 and developed this dry mouth at night about five years ago. No real cause determined. Discovered this product by trial and error. Dentists need to be informed. I told my dentist, and she now recommends this product."

Saliva substitutes topical for Xerostomia "I thought they were great at first, but my tongue would be extra sensitive after using them. I stopped after a week or so, but my dry mouth kept me up all night recently, so last night I used another one. Today my tongue has little sores all over it, and it hurts to eat. I won't be using these again."

For Xerostomia "Allie: The part of XyliMelts that causes your problem is the natural adhesive. You have developed a sensitivity. The manufacturer offers a version of XyliMelts with a different all-natural adhesive that doesn't cause your problem. It is called 'Sensitive Mouth.' You might try it."
