dang my mouth is so dry everyday and night. Today my front cap fell off, went to the dentist and they said that the dry mouth is not good for your teeth and gums. What to do?

I ate a lot of fudgesicles and popsicles on treatment that much I can tell you, I even brought them in to work.

It does wreck havoc on your teeth as does the interferon.

Hi I also have the problem with dry mouth.  I drink lots of water and I use something called Hall's Refresh (moisturizer lozenge) for dry mouth, it was in the cold aisle at Walmart.  Also Biotene makes a spray and gum for dry mouth.
I am alternating with sugar free candy,  it is miserable, I can sympathize.
All of the above does help, the Halls is the best
Good luck
