Kristy,
Here are a couple of links to some interesting solutions(albeit future)to dry mouth problems. Saliwell http://www.saliwell.com/1_1.asp is a medical company that makes an implant type device that looks very interesting. The second link is a Google search for Dr. Bruce Baum. http://www.nidcr.nih.gov/Research/ResearchResults/InterviewsOHR/TIS032007.htm He is, and has been actively researching gene therapy for salivary gland repair. His research seems most promising for head and neck cancer patients whose saliva glands have been damaged by radiation.

I too struggle with dry mouth and the associated dental ramifications caused by radiation, however, the Salogen has allowed me to eat almost anything, as well as return to work full time as an in home salesman. I'm approx 6 months post treatment myself.

Here are a few more links that may be of interest to all.

Regards,
Chris
