Hi all,

I have been reading through this thread (not every post on all 16 pages), but I am not quite sure what the status of biotene is. I'll summarize my limited understanding, and perhaps someone reading can fill in the blanks?

I have been using the mouthwash once a day, as part of a nightly ritual. I've heard that the company's product was changed when another corporation bought it, and is now considered inferior?

And, that a new formulation is supposedly in the works, but it's been a "slow train coming". When I was in treatment (summer of '14), the nurses were recommending it, apparently unaware of the changes.

What are people using in lieu of Biotene?

Sorry if this seems like the Dept of Redundancy Department, but I'm having trouble reading the runes...
