I attended a post treatment workshop for patients and caregivers this week at our hospital. For combatting dry mouth, they are recommending coating the mouth (gums and tongue) with 1/2 teaspoon of vegetable oil or mild olive oil at bedtime. My husband has tried it for a few nights now and finds it helps. Hope this helps, it is cheaper than biotene.
