Persistent dry mouth may require additional measures, such as:
– Using mouth moisturizers or saliva substitutes.
– Using mouthwashes specifically designed for dry mouth relief.
– Regularly sipping water or sugarless drinks.
– Steering clear of caffeine-containing beverages like coffee, tea, and certain sodas.
– Stimulating saliva flow by chewing sugarless gum or sucking on sugarless hard candy (if salivary glands are still functional).
– Avoiding tobacco and alcohol.
– Steer clear of spicy or salty foods that can exacerbate dry mouth discomfort.
– Employing a humidifier at night to alleviate dryness.
