My saliva has returned part time and I still have the dry mouth a lot. My mouth at times just pours saliva out and at others I need plenty of water or Biotene for a boost. I think at times, this slobbering is embarassing when in public with a handerchef in hand. Heck with the public tho as long as I am alive.
