all right by me !!! January 3, 2008
I have to start a course of chemotherapy; and my dentist recommended this gum to me to chew during the months I am on chemo. I am impressed with this gum because of its way of using natural enzyme protection to relieve dry mouth and protect your teeth from decay during cancer treatment.
Oh yes, it's true--the gum loses it mild mint flavor pretty quickly--after just about a minute! However, if you want to protect your mouth during chemo, it certainly couldn't hurt to at least chew this gum some of the time. It beats getting cavities. At 44 I still have no cavities and I'm not about to start now!
You do need to chew two pieces of this gum at the same time. One piece will be too small and you could accidentally swallow it, I suppose.
The two pieces of gum have a total of five calories, so don't be concerned about that. It is sweetened with xylitol.
Overall, this gum can save you from dry mouth and tooth decay during a course of cancer therapy such as chemo. It may work well if you need radiation therapy, too. It's not a fun type of bubble gum, (how I wish that it were) but it does what it sets out to do--protect your mouth from decay during a course of chemo treatment.
Ask your dentist if you have any questions.
 Dry mouth patient reviews Biotene gum. March 20, 2007

I like chewing gum for my dry mouth, but Biotene is not my favorite: it is expensive, hard to find, and, in my opinion, not any better than many traditional chewing gums. You have to chew two and a time, and that costs about $.20 per use at the listed price, not including shipping. The gum is boring and small and doesn't retain flavor or the texture I like, so I don't chew it very long when I use it. I don't like hard gums like Dentine or bubble gum; I usually use a soft sugar free gum like Extra. It's cheap and comes in lots of flavors and stimulates saliva flow. I'm not a big chewer, I mostly suck on it, or let it sit in my mouth. Biotene may be better in terms of mildness, but I love flavored gum, and am not willing to shell out so much to keep buying Biotene gum. (I do like Biotene toothpaste , though.)

As a dentist I see many patients that have dry mouth as a result of medication use or due to cancer radiation therapy of the head and neck area. I ALWAYS RECOMMEND BIOTENE CHEWING GUM FOR THESE PATIENTS. Biotene is a biocompatible gum that has natural salivary enzymes that help remove plaque from the teeth. Gum chewing also stimulates saliva release and any natural saliva that can be produced is of benefit.
This is a great product for those with dry mouths and I highly recommend it.
