I had acupuncture all through my treatment, and it helped enormously with dry mouth. Ironically, three months out of treatment my dry mouth is worse than during treatment. I chalk this up to having no more acupuncture. I will have to start again. I haven't had good luck with any dry mouth product so far. Best things for me are salt water rinses and Trident White tropical flavor gum.
