I am on medication that drys out my mouth. As a result, I am chewing sugarless gum buy the boatload. Help?

Question

Although the gum is quite tasty, Trident Watermelon Twist, I have to keep buying and buying gum. I tried Mike and Ike's and ended up with root canals all over the place. Any suggestions would be helpfull.

Answer 1

Your jaw isn't really designed to be chewing that much. Try sucking on sugar-free sweets instead. If you are prone to decay, ones containing xylitol are good. There is also a range of products such as toothpastes and mouthwashes for dry mouth produced by Biotene (see link below).
