Someone who went through treatment suggested Biotene to me, and now I use it every night. It has helped.

my dentist told me few tricks:

dry mouth / lack of saliva - lick fresh sliced lemon, it forces your salivary gland to produce more salive
prevention of cavities - chewing gum (no sugar) like Orbit professional, just to lower the PH in the mouth, chew it for 10-15min. Or you could lower PH with sodium carbonate powder (if you do not like chewing gums).

also in the evening before sleep, mouth wash (hexitidine based)

hope it helps!
