Any update on the Biotene replacement products?
I'm out of the Biotene mouthwash and only one tube left of the toothpaste, so I've been using it sparingly. I've been trying other brands, and haven't found a mouthwash that does not burn even if I dilute it with water (50/50 ratio).
I tried a number of toothpastes including Tom's of Maine which is advertised as "natural". Their "Simply White / Clean Mint" one burns as much as Crest and Colgate. So as others have suggested, I tried their children's toothpaste - that doesn't burn (which is great), but doesn't have the enzymes that were in Biotene. I do use a prescription fluoride toothpaste once a day (burns a bit), but at least I'm getting some fluoride.
I've been using MedActive Oral Relief Spray and Lozenges - both work pretty good for dry mouth relief.
I'm mainly looking for toothpaste and mouthwash. Any suggestions?
