Hi Paula, The one I find works best is the biotene liquid that's kind of banana flavored. I squirt in a good amount before a meal, try to swish it around my mouth, then swallow what is left. Of course, banana flavor doesn't mix with everything I am eating but if I have really dry mouth I use it anyway.

Basically, because of my epiglottis, I really can't eat stuff that has much solidity to it anyway so, since everything i eat is fairly moist, I don't have that problem quite so much.
