I was told by my periodontal office that USC school of dentistry had a staff meeting to discuss what to do about the Biotene issue. The sentiment was the Biotene products are no long suitable, and other solutions need to be found. So it's not just us patients who are concerned. And it won't be long before GSK has to stop claiming Biotene is the number one recommended brand.
