Luckily, there is no one dry mouth remedy. You have a number of options available, ranging from simple, home remedies, to more advanced doctor provided treatments. If your dry mouth is occasional, so should be your dry mouth remedy. Chew some gum to moisten your mouth or drink some water and you should be fine.
If, however, your dry mouth is as chronic as your bad breath, the two are probably related. The two major causes of dry mouth are medicines and toothpaste. Antihistamines and other over the counter medicines, as well as certain allergy medications, list dry mouth as a side effect.
The Power Is In Your Hands
If you are unable to discontinue use of these medications as a dry mouth remedy, take steps to ensure your mouth remains moist. Have sugar-free gum handy and keep some ice chips in your freezer to suck on throughout the day. Drinking plenty of caffeine-free, sugar free drinks to keep yourself hydrated is a great dry mouth remedy.
If you are using a toothpaste that contains SLS, stop it right now. The SLS will dry out your mouth and may contribute to the appearance of canker sores. Ill say again, stop smoking. Even better, stop smoking and stop using your chewing tobacco - Im not even going to get started on what chewing tobacco does to your mouth.
