My doctor recommended that chew gum to help with my dry mouth. It has the only sweetener that doesn't cause me problems. For example some sweetners gives me dihorrea and others cause the whites of my eyes to become extremely red. This does neither. Also it's nice an soft and doesn't make the delecate membrane in mouth sore.
Sometimes there are bits of chewing gum left in and between my teeth. The texture is the only thing I would change.
