Biotene and Oasis are also products you can try that are artificial salivas.
It would also be a good idea to get some prescription toothpaste from your dentist, Prevident 5000 is the most common.

Depending on the severity, xylitol gum can help by stimulating saliva flow and decreasing bacteria content.
