I did not have radiation, but I do have a dry mouth problem related to my surgery. I keep a mister bottle, used to mist plants, beside my bed. I wake numerous times a night with my tongue stuck to the roof of my mouth, and my lips stuck to my teeth. I mist all around,,,,down my throat, beside my cheeks....along my front teeth....and I end up with a little drink, without having to tip a cup or bottle, and without having to worry about spilling. I hate waking up, but I am thankful to have discovered my mister bottle. I can not get much relief from just the humidifier.

I also put a little vaseline on my front teeth, and it helps keep them from sticking to my dry lips.

What is Biotene? How is it used, and how does it work, and where does one get it...ie. prescrip. or OTC?
