Dry mouth, also known as xerostomia, is a condition in which saliva production stops. This is mainly caused by drug administration / dehydration. Try these tips!
-Keep a water bottle in hand, wherever you go. Dry mouth and carbonated beverages don’t gel.
-Alcohol is another beverage that dries the mouth.
-Tobacco smoke burns the moisture out of your mouth and makes it dry.
-Caffeine also makes a dry mouth worse.
-Moisten the air around by putting a cool-air vaporizer.
-Salivary glands can be stimulated by chewing on a piece of sugarless gum for 5 to 10 minutes every two hours.
