Hi I am 10 month out last rads on 31 August answer yes I have more saliva than I did, not perfect still have dry mouth in the night. I too use xymelts just 1/2 of one when I wake in the night now I am getting on average 8 hours sleep ,a far cry from the early days.
I use duraphat toothpaste which is prescribed to me in the uk by my dentist it’s a high fluoride toothpaste along with a very soft tooth brush which I got from the big online retailer not sure If i can give the name ?
There is light at the end of the tunnel , and life can begin to get back to a type of normality we all just get there at differing rates some take longer than other. Do you have a warm drink with you when eating to help the food go down it helped especially in the early day s.
Good luck
Hazel
