Dry mouth after 3 years

Hi. Can you chew gum? It’s my absolute go to and works a treat. 
At night I tend to sleep with my mouth open so I have a squirt of oralieve dry mouth get, pop a xylimelt in and tape my mouth. That gives me a largely unbroken night’s sleep

I'm also 3 years out after Chemoradio for head and neck cancer...dry mouth is still a problem, probably our 'new normal', some days are worse than others, chewing gum containing xylitol helps, cheap from Aldi/Lidl, Biotene gel, plenty of hydration, Coconut water is an excellent, naturally hydrating choice for dry mouth...

Hi dani, 

I have trouble chewing gum as I had belly's palsy on my good side in the Nov after my operation and it hasn't gone back to normal. Plus all my bottom left teeth were removed. 

I'll try your tip at night though thank you

Thanks Micheal

Can you try Salivix pastilles? They stimulate the saliva too. I used to use them and got them on prescription from my GP. You can get them OTC. I have loads of boxes if you’d like me to send you one to try? 

No I've not heard of those I'll try that to

Thank you 

I can only add try a small spray bottle of water to keep your 

mouth fresh and moist

Chewing gum day for mei break it into small pieces and tend to stick 

it up on my too gum like I do with xyimelts at  night. Boots also do a small handbag size dry mouth spray. 

im 8 years out spend 5 months in Spain the heat doesn’t help but im used to it now. Sat typing this and its 38 degrees at 2130 I dint drink any alcohol but lots if water. 
tea coffee alcohol can dry you out even more
