So I recently started using biotene & it doesn’t work like I thought it would . I have this weird habit of chewing on bottom tops I had noticed it helps with my anxiety just a little . It makes my jaws and chest feel secure I really can’t explain it . I just want to know how to you guys deal with dry mouth and am I the only one that chews on objects to prevent anxiety !

Well, if you are chewing on anything but edible things (but not gum), your teeth and jaw joint will pay for it eventually. I know, been there. Had surgery to save my TM joint. By the way, what are bottom tops?

I keep sugarless cough drops around to keep my mouth moist.

i chew my nails...nasty habit. Ben doing it since age 7...watched my mother do it.......

I have dry mouth from mouth breathing and drinking some wine at night. Biotene really does not do much.... Have to take sips of water during the night to relive. Worse with age

Maybe someone has suggestions for us?????

I always have a packet of XXX trebor mints, and I put one in my mouth every time I'm feeling my anxiety or panic attacks coming on, it seems to help with the dry mouth. But I've been using them for over a year now so it tends too cause anxiety and panic if I run out or only have a small amount of them left...

I used too also chew the bottom of my lips or my nails also I still tap my fingers on my eyebrows (I have no idea why) used to pull at my eyebrows too itgot so bad I ended up with one eyebrow very thin, so I feel your struggles with this.

I hope you start too feel better soon, x
