The dental oncologist at Hopkins and our ENT (who had HNC and had radiation 15 years ago) are both quite enthusiastic about the newer Evoxac mediaction for salivary function. Our ENT says she uses it now before bedtime (she has very reduced saliva as she has the older radiation) and says for a few minutes, she drools like a St. Bernard but it keeps her mouth moist all night. She gave us some free samples so have them in reserve if Barry needs them (as I am sure he will).
