Suffering From A Dry Mouth? Read This by akprosperblog(m): 7:30am On Jan 17, 2017
First off, make sure you’re drinking plenty of water ; dry mouth is a common symptom of dehydration. Is there any chance you’re breathing through your mouth or snoring a lot without realizing it? Try using a
humidifier, especially in the winter and at night, to help keep the air moist. There are also hundreds of medications that can make your mouth unusually dry, including certain antihistamines, decongestants, antidepressants, muscle relaxants, diabetes drugs, and pain relievers.

This complaint can also be a red flag that you have an underlying health condition, such as Sjogren’s syndrome (an autoimmune disease that attacks moisture-producing glands in the body), high blood sugar, or diabetes . More rarely, dry mouth may signal nerve damage in the head or neck.

It’s important to see your doctorto rule out any of these more serious health issues. Regardless of the cause, dry mouth can eventually result in sores, a fungal infection in your mouth, gum disease, or tooth decay.

Ask your doctor or dentist about over-the-counter toothpastes, mouthwashes, and gels designed specifically for easing dry mouth symptoms, in addition to prescription oral medications that stimulate saliva production.

The first thing to treat dry mouth is changing our lifestyle.

-Stop smoking or using any kind of alcoholic or caffeinated products
-Breath through your nose, not mouth
-Moisturize your lips
-Add moisture to your room
-See your dentist at least twice annual

Moreover, you should increase fluid intake

If you do not have any disease and are not under any medical treatments, dehydration is undoubtedly the cause of the condition. Therefore, the first thing you should do to get rid of dry mouth is to keep yourself hydrated by providing enough fluid. This will help your mouth make enough saliva so that you can quickly get rid of dry mouth.

-Drink at least 2 liters or 8 glasses of water daily
-Consume water-based fruits and vegetable such as watermelon, pineapple, etc.
-Alternatively, you can use smoothies, fruit juice or vegetable juice or any kind of tea like green tea, peppermint tea, or others.
-Soft and liquid foods should be also included in the list.
-At the same time, do not consume caffeinated beverages, alcoholic drinks or soda
