How to Treat Dry Mouth and its Associated Symptoms

To Keep Your Mouth Moist

Sip water or other sugar-free juices frequently. It is particularly important to drink often while eating. This will aid chewing and swallowing and may enhance the taste of your food. You can carry a water bottle, like bicycle riders do, during the day and keep a glass of water at your bedside at night. Also, use a humidifier to increase the moisture content of the air in your room.

Stimulate the flow of your saliva

By eating foods which require mastication

By chewing sugarless gum

By using, if possible, acid-tasting, sugarless (diabetic-type) candies..

By “sucking” a cherry or olive pit; or the rind of a lemon or lime.

ALso your need to see your doctor and dentist. This is most likely caused by medications.

Good luck

Please see your dentist for a thorough oral examination

Keep track if there has been any other changes whether it be in your mouth or body

Be sure to report these findings to your dentist

Xerostomia aka "dry mouth" can be either a side effect from the drugs you are taking, OR

a symptom from a medical condition

In any case, get checked out.

Let's hope it's nothing serious...

Your dry mouth should be controlled - Biotene products might help

Dry mouth can also cause a large increase in cavities since saliva acts as a buffer to the acids that build up in your mouth

I get canker sores frequently, and they take 2-3 weeks to go away. Most "home remedies" like baking soda, salt water, etc don't help at all, and over the counter anathetics like Orajel and ZilactinB can numb it temporarily but don't do anything to heal the sore. I've researched canker sores on the internet but have found nothing particularly brilliant.

Talk to your dentist - mine mentioned a quick procedure he can do that can help speed the healing process. He said the reason the canker sores take so long is because the mouth doesn't recognize it as a wound. What a dentist can do is cauterize the sore (sounds incredibly painful!) which will both cleanse it and signal to the mouth that "this is a wound, come heal it." I haven't tried this yet, but will first thing tomorrow for my latest canker sore!

So talk to your dentist, and good luck!

There are many crazy things that can happen in the mouth. Some having no known cause. I suggest that you go to your Dentist and have him/her take a look. Having constant dry mouth due to decreased salivary flow is called Xerostema if you wanted to look it up and see if you can find any pics that match your mouth. Maybe that way you can find a way to heal it or reason it could be happening.

Hope everything clears up!

And - stop ALL sugar intake for 5 days just to see what happens. Sugar is often the culprit in dry mouth cases where no other source can be identified.

i don't know much about you problem, however i recently went to the dentist and had to have root scaling done, and one of the points she kept stressing to me was, how common mouth cancer is. Have you ruled out this option?

Defenatley go to the doctor
