I use Biotene and don't find it to be sickeningly sweet, not sweet at all, not bitter either.

I don't have dry mouth but I do have other issues. I use Thera-breath but only in the green bottle. It doesn't have any artificial sweeteners or alcohol.

I’ve used Clo Sys. Not specifically for dry mouth, but for sensitive mouths. Minty but weak flavor. They even have one in which you add the amount of flavor you want with a dropper.

From past posts we know that you have very unique tastes/sensitivities so I don’t think anyone can particularly help you on that. Only because it‘s not yet mentioned, I’d suggest adding Colgate’s Hydris to the list to try. We had a bottle but must have finished it or I’d give it a taste. But my wife says it was very mild.

I also use TheraBreath mouthwash on occasion. They also have dry mouth lozenges and I keep a few of those in my purse to use if needed or just as a mouth refresh when I can’t brush my teeth.

Tangental: Is 'dry mouth' related to some sinus issues that keep you from breathing normally? I'm starting to think that's my problem -- which I only have at night.

tastes/sensitivities - i have those also but don't find it to be sweet and syrupy/thick. It is thicker than water.

could be, I do have breathing problems... but my sister has it also and i don't know that she has breathing / sinus problems. I'll have to ask her. we both have fibromyalgia.

Hubs likes the Xylimelts mint free , he used the mild mint but changed over. Only at night.

Thanks everyone!

Annie, after reading your post i reserched, and it seemed the Yellow-bottle Therabreath (the one with citrus and spearmint) might have been the best for me. But predictably, no thanks to today's bottom-line competition-world - I believe they discontinued that version. I'd prefer something commonly available, and enough popularity not to be discontinued at whim.

DesertSteph - quoting you:

• tastes/sensitivities - i have those also but don't find it to be sweet and syrupy/thick. It is thicker than water.

When you say "I have those" did you mean you also have tried Equate's version of Biotene, and you find both of them to not be sickeningly sweet?

OR: Do you find Equate's to be more syrupy than Biotene?

Now, DesertSteph & Chisue, re: the tangent: Note that i, too, have fibromyalgia (since childhood). I also have sinus issues, but not breathing issues. When i was much younger, when i'd get "colds" (which i now realize must have been ongoing bouts of flu) i'd have trouble breathing, due to stuffy nose, and would get Neosenephrine to clear it. Ugh.

But eventually over the years my body became ever more acidic from stress. That made me more prone to runny nose (like seniors on coumarin), and less prone to stuffy nose. These days, what stabilizes the "mercurial" runniness - is Gabapentin, and also a diet with sufficient starches and lysine foods. (i.e. such as eggs and dairy.

It's exactly for that reason, that i maintain that Covid and my "flu" anatomy are mutually exclusive. As if my body is a "vax manufacturer", the way some bodies are cholesterol manufacturers. (Ironically, the three people i know/knew, who were cholesterol manufacturers, were skinny.

Ask your dentist about this toothpaste.

PreviDent 5000 ppm made by Colgate Prescription only. Cost $10.

Kathy what is it about the toothpaste? TYIA

My friend uses it and is happy with it. You brush your teeth with it and do not rinse. Dry mouth will cause cavities. I am going to ask my DDS about it when I see her.

I use Biotene spray and the Rite Aid lozenges for my dry mouth. I did stop taking Loratidine as it was drying out my eyes and mouth.
