foods to reduce dry mouth
 

My mouth is always dry. I usuall chew gum in order to get the saliva working, but I dont have any right. What can i use to relieve this horrible dry mouth?

mabye you just need more water?
...perhaps?
or mabye you should try eating foods that make you drool.

A button or a small stone will work. Just don't swallow it.
Is there any water available nearby?

Breathe through your nose.

Gum should work, if it doesn't, switch brands.

Try sticking a pebble or something very very small and round under your tongue, I heard that can help generate some saliva.

Try drinking some H20

Ice chips are good. So are hard candies, like peppermints. You might want to see a doctor, unless you know why your mouth is so dry. Sometimes it's a side effect of some medications, but it could be something more serious.

Maybe your smoking too many spliffs. They make my mouth quite dry.

Drink some Mountain Dew or Pepsi. Your mouth will be too full of phlegm to feel dry.

Skittles!

We vietnamese use a small slice of lemon with salt and sugar on both sides, just place it on your tounge and suck the juice. When I say slice..its SEE-THROUGH slice. Yep, that thin.

Lemonheads, or something else sweet-n-sour,
always seem to get my saliva to flow.

You're probably dehydrated. Doctor ratbastid proscribes at least 36oz of water.

Not soda, not coffee, not juice. Plain, straight water with nothing in it.

Drinking plenty of water is probably the easiest and first step to help a dry mouth.

Medication can also cause dry mouth. Check on any medications you take regularly and see if the side effects of any of them cause dry mouth. For example: Claritin-D has a decongestant and can cause a dry mouth.

Also here's some stuff I got from WebMD

steps you can take that may help improve saliva flow and protect your teeth include:

-Sucking on sugar-free candy or chewing sugar-free gum
-Drinking plenty of water to help keep your mouth moist
-Protecting your teeth by brushing with a fluoride toothpaste, using a fluoride rinse, and visiting your dentist regularly
-Breathing through your nose, not your mouth, as much as possible
-Using a room vaporizer to add moisture to the bedroom air

Get yourself a cup of water (a straw usually helps to drink it faster), and just sip on it all day long. Take it with you around the office, to classes, whatever. It could help a lot.

Some good ideas here.

What you need to do is to see a freekin' doctor already...

This could be a symptom of a medical problem. I just did a search for "dry mouth" on webmd.com and came up with this:

If you drink enough water and breathe through your nose and STILL have a problem, then maybe it is a drug you are using - even overthecounter ones?

Don't go overboard on the water thing though. There is an incredible amount of mis-information - even in this thread already - about water intake. See here:

lol We're thinking alike. That's the same link I gave. Guess that should tell us something - good place to go for info.
