Excess saliva

[BlueandGold]

Has anyone tried the NeoDry saliva patches from the dentist? My brother-n-law is a dentist and he gave me a Box of these to try. They fit on the inside of each cheek (stick to the cheek). As the patch get soaked with saliva, the patch swells with a gel-like substance and at that time you can change them. So far they work pretty good. Better than holding a washcloth in my mouth. Don't think you should use them at night, but good during the day.

Not heard of them but sounds like a great idea and private.

A friend uses paper towels. Just twist one corner into a wick, place between teeth and cheek in each corner and the wick draws out the excess saliva. Yet another low tech solution.

Prior to meds, I was going through a roll of paper towels every two days. And that was the select-a-size product!!!
