Is Dry Mouth Troubling You?
Dry mouth is a symptom that leads to a lack of saliva. Individuals with dry mouth do not have enough saliva to keep the mouth wet.
Remedies - there are many ways to keep the mouth lubricated and prevent the symptoms of dry mouth:
- suck on sugar-free candy or chew sugar-free gum, specifically ones with xylitol. Try to avoid acidic ones like lemon that can soften teeth.
- drink plenty of water to help keep your mouth moist.
- brush with a fluoride toothpaste, use a fluoride rinse, and visit your dentist regularly.
- breathe through your nose, not your mouth, as much as possible.
- use a room vaporizer to add moisture to the bedroom air.
- use an over-the-counter artificial saliva substitute
