Xylitol can help improving dry mouth by hydrating the mucous in the mouth and by stimulating the saliva production. Try different xylitol-containing products to find the ones which work best for you.

• Try 100% xylitol chewing gum or lozenges. Favor fruity flavours and avoid mint.

Umami, also called “fifth taste” stimulates saliva production.

• Try umami tasting foods in “Try this when you taste nothing” section.
