Biotene toothpaste is my choice. It has the floride, and in addition, enzymes (which without saliva you are missing) that help fight bacteria. It has a minimum of mint, so it doesn't burn my mouth like my old pre-cancer favorite Crest. The foundation has been contacted by a new comnpany that is interested in introducing a similar, but much more advanced, enzyme based toothpaste for those with xerostomia. I wil keep everyone here posted about the product as I learn more about its availability. Remember that no toothpaste is going to have the flouride level of using a tray and gel in the evenings. Patients need to stay after the flouride trays to keep caries at bay.
