Why is my mouth/tongue always dry??

Question

I drink PLENTY of water but for some reason my mouth and tongue are always dry. My saliva is thick and not as juicy as it should be or as other peoples. When I work out my mouth without any moisture at all. What do I do????

Answer 1

Dry mouth may result from disorders and medications that cause a decreased flow of saliva, so the saliva may be thick and gummy rather than thin and ropy. If your mouth is consistently dry, it could lead to bad breath and decay. Salivary flow serves to clear food from the mouth and also provides a source of dietary fluoride to strengthen the teeth and assist in remineralization. To increase your salivary flow, drink lots of water and chew sugarless gum, especially ones with xylitol in them. Also purchase a non-alcoholic fluoridated mouthwash. Topical fluoride slows demineralization and enhances remineralization of tooth surfaces. It also strengthens teeth against acid and solubility. You may be able to get a prescription from your dentist for an antibacterial fluoride rinse called chloridexine. =)

Some medication can do this, if you are not taking any meds then you should talk to your doctor as you may have a problem with the salivary glands not working properly;
