Dry Mouth Solutions?

Posted by jsarirose on April 30, 2003, at 1:07:43

I'm on several meds, and something gives me a very dry mouth. I drink tons of water, which is good for me anyway, but I'd like to know if anyone has any suggestions. My dentist gave me a sample pack of some products by Biotene, but they don't seem to do much. The toothpaste did nothing. And the gum isn't anything special either. I haven't tried the mouthwash yet.
One of my worst times is during the night. I just feel like I have the worst breath in the world and the taste is awful. (I always rinse my mouth when I get up to use the bathroom at night.)
But there are many other times when drinking a ton of water isn't convenient. Any suggestions? I have noticed I have a penchant for very sour candies. I think it's because they make me salivate. But I don't really want to eat candy all the time.
Thanks,
Jessica
