Re: artifical sweetners/this one good for dry mouth

[Guest guest]

Xylitol-yes, a good artificial sweetener, hard to find.

If you have problems with dry mouth, sores in your mouth or erosion of tissue

around

your teeth, there is a xylitol based mouth rinse called Biotene. It is

expensive -around 6

to 8 $ a bottle- and it feels slimy and tastes weird BUT it really really works

for those

problems. I use it and find I need only a tiny tiny amount twice a day to heal

all mouth

problems (Tooth problems require a dentist, wich I dread-differant story)

PEACE
