A member asked:
Is there actually a kind of special gum you could chew that increases saliva?

Yes: Biotene products help both stimulate more saliva and replace missing saliva.

Not that i know of.: I don't know of any special gum, but anything in your mouth will promote salivary flow. An old trick used by prospectors in the desert was to place a pebble in the mouth to produce more salive and relieve a dry mouth!
