We almost have it...: We dont need "gum moisturizer "per se, vs. Skin moisturizer.. Because unlike our skin, gums are constantly "marinated' in the saliva !. But there are some people who have "dry mouth" because of intaking several medications, or, some people are "mouth breather" and experience dry mouth or gums because of that..Either cases can use "dry mouth" products. Can find it in pharmacies, or ask ur dentist.
