I go no where without my bottle of water!!! And I still have almost all function of salivary glands. I have read that after a year or two it may return. It just takes more time than you realize. Try some of the things mentioned above and hang in there. "This to Shall Pass"
I also had IMRT, no teeth removed and no drugs at all.
Best wishes, Danny Boy
