Members shared numerous practical strategies for managing dry mouth, with Biotene products (toothpaste, mouthwash, gum, and spray) being the most frequently recommended solution, with several members noting significant improvements in both comfort and dental health. Many members also found relief through sugar-free hard candies, mints, gum (especially Orbit sugarless bubble gum), ice chips, fruit popsicles, and carrying water bottles everywhere they go. A recurring theme was the understanding that dry mouth often stems from medications or underlying conditions like fibromyalgia, with members expressing curiosity about whether dehydration or the body's water processing plays a role, while also sharing the real challenges of tongues sticking to the roof of the mouth and throats closing up when speaking.
