My mouth and throat dryness hit a high about 15 months post RD and has continued, but..... I noticed about a month or so ago that the space between my upper lip and my (toothless) gum was beginning to not be so dry. Now it's not dry at all.

A couple of days ago, I noticed that my whole mouth isn't quite as bone-dry as it was, IF I'm not breathing through my mouth, which I do quite often. (I'm also fighting stuffy sinus problems so I have to breathe through my mouth until I get them cleared.) I've also noticed that my tongue isn't so coffee-stained. I used to really have to brush and scrape often, but the stains aren't there anymore - maybe because I'm generating a small amount of saliva? Eating/swallowing has become less difficult over the last few days or so, too.

I don't think it's because I ran out and bought the Biotene spray, because I'm only using that before I go to sleep and when I wake up. So is this wishful thinking, or is it possible that maybe at least some of my saliva glands might be starting to recover 2 years after treatment ended?
