Hi All, I searched old posts about chewing gum, but I'm still not clear on whether there is any harm to trying regular sugar-free gum in addition to Biotene gun.

My husband chews Biotene gum frequently but would like some other options, if not harmful.

I haven't been on the boards recently due to trying to live and adjust to our new life. Looks like we have a future to look forward to as Sept will be 2 years post treatment! We're grateful and thankful for all the help I found here. Lottie
