Hi Tom:

I live in Alabama, not North Carolina. Not sure why you thought that. About the dental issue, when consulting with a doctor at the University of Connecticut Health Center via Internet, he/she (can't tell by the name) suggested the mucus problem be addressed by a specialist in Oral Medicine. They are usually located at dental schools. She provided a name of a doctor at the University of Alabama in Birmingham, AL, and I am trying to get an appointment with him/her now. I believe these type doctors deal with mucositis and in general, control of heavy mucus. We'll see. Thanks for replying.
