Cathy,
Thanks for tips. I have seen Biotene before, in Ireland at least.

I am not sure what they call peridontists here - I went to see a stomatologist at one stage, that might be similar. Mind you he was the one that misdiagnosed me originally - told me I should stop fussing about the original ulcer and pain in the ear. I will have to do some research and find another.
