DEAR DR. GOTT:
I recently read your letter about the reader who uses a Tic Tac for nighttime dry mouth.
I use Hall’s Sugar Free Cough Drops because I am diabetic. Please put this tip in the paper for others to use.
DEAR READER:
Several people wrote to me regarding dry mouth and their solutions to the issue. One indicated she spoke with her dental hygienist regarding the sugar content. The reader then wrote to the manufacturer and recommended they make a sugar-free version. She received a polite note thanking her for her letter and a coupon for a free package of Tic Tacs (which wasn’t what she was looking for), but in the meantime found sugar-free Altoids work even better. The only problem is that they dissolve more rapidly than Tic Tacs. Now I have three recommendations to share with readers. Thank you for writing.
