There's a toothpaste and mouthwash called biotin that helps alleviate dry mouth. I think they also have a spray as well. You could give that a try.

Hi the dry mouth is a pain but there's a few things out there to help, biotene do a gel that helps, zylimelts are good, in UK Dr can prescribe you a spray (glandosane) and salivix pastilles (the help but don't much like the taste).

Xylilmelts are expensive and do not last. Salese tabs the best for up to 10 hours stick it on side of a back tooth for long time results

Yep dry mouth and a coated and smooth tongue surface. My GP gave me vitamin b strong compound tablets, they taste disgusting and didn't work. I found chewing raw pineapple chunks and drinking the juice helped much better. Give it a try x

I chew chewing gum to help my dry mouth. The dryness is not there all the time.

Listerine very good for bad breath.

Hello, try chewing fresh parsley after meals mainly.

Also try as I do, buy fresh mint in a small plant pot and use it to make mint tea. Just chop the leaves into decent sized pieces and then pour on boiling water in a cup.

I switch to drinking red tea later in the day, it is caffeine-free and hydrating unlike black tea.

For mouth sores take a prescription for Leucovor a strong folic acid or take several tabs folic acid daily. For dry mouth buy ORAMOIST or SALESE tablets. I take wintergreen flavor lasts all night. Dry mouth can attribute to teeth problems. Order on line cheapest is DRUGSTORE.com

Biotin does not work well. Amazon also sells ORAMOIST and Salese but more expensive than drugstore.com
