dry mouth

Posted , 7 users are following.

This has been going on for about six months now.  it use to be on and off but now its like everyday constant.  i have tried the biotene mouth wash, the sprays, cold water.  nothing seems to help me.  i had it before and it went away.  but now it doesnt seem to be doing that.  has anyone tried anything else besides the mouth wash and spray??????  so tired of it.

    One thing I forget to mention, Karen, just in case you hadn't already worked this out for yourself. When dealing with dry mouth, whatever the cause, it's important to take small sips of water at frequent intervals. Drinking large quantities at a time will wash away what little saliva you have and increase the risk of tooth decay and mouth infections.

    I hope you can soon find a solution to your problem.

      I did not know this but that is exactly what I do. I carry around a tall plastic glass with a straw of water and sip it all day long.
