biotene gel for dry mouth
And it helps. A lot. It's in a tube and looks kinda like clear toothpaste. It feels really weird in my mouth and I don't like it at first. But you put a little on your tongue and then kind of smoo**** around throughout your mouth. And then I do not feel thirsty for a good while. As opposed to having cotton mouth every five minutes.
I am thinking for those just getting ready to have surgery, if you will not be allowed fluids for a while after surgery, this could really help a lot.

People with dry mouth (whatever the cause) are at a greatly increased risk of tooth decay.
I see it all the time in post gastric bypass patients and more frequently in Lap Band patients.
Just as an aside, if you vomit frequently, don't brush your teeth right away. Just rinse with water or rinse with baking soda in water.
