Hello,

Dry mouth is really irritating, can lead to dental cavities and is caused by different reasons. Most commonly drug mouth is caused by medications. Many prescription medications as well as some commonly used over the counter drugs cause dry mouth. Always try to sleep and breath through your nose, since keeping your mouth closed will help keep it moist. There are a few different over-the-counter medications that you can benefit from. Biotene oral rinse or lozenges as well as xylitol gum. These over-the-counter options increase saliva to keep the mouth moist. They can also be found at your local pharmacies.
