have you looked at any biotene products? - there are other brands out there too such as oasis - check the drug store toothpaste area or ask your PCP and dentist if there are any rx products

http://www.biotene.com/index.aspx

browse your local drug store --- know mine (remote as it is) carries a few things - oasis wash is one they have - right by the polident and toothpaste ---------- I have picked up biotene toothpaste at WM and Rite Aid just right off the shelf - more pricey than regular toothpaste but .... and the dental hygienist gave me a sample pack for biotene products last cleaning - gel, wash, toothpaste - only used the TP

also google dry mouth and see what folk remedies you can come up with

dry mouth is a common side effect of many meds and there is a medical condition called sjogren's syndrome where dry mouth is a symptom - their support forums might have some good pointers
