i was also told Oral B has came up with a super good mouth rinse? it works wonders.. true?
biotene is an OTC line of products made specifically for dry mouths.
Biotene: Dry Mouth Therapy by Laclede- treat xerostomia, relieves bleeding gums, gingivitis, gum irritations, bad breath

the new rinse oral-b has is an anti-cavity rinse. that's because it contains 0.05% sodium fluoride. it's nothing new..ACT has had the same thing out for a long time. if you get a lot of cavities, you should be using a fluoride rinse and getting professionally applied fluoride treatments. your dentists can prescribe a toothpaste that has 5 times the concentration of fluoride OTC ones do.

and if you suffer from dry mouth, extra fluoride will be helpful for you.
