Hi dahlek,

I've never heard of the mouth staying that dry for so long after dental treatment. I think it may be something else and possibly the timing is just coincidental.

Have you been using any OTC sinus meds for allergies or a cold ....... nose sprays or antihistamines..... anything like that? All of them will dry out the mouth as well as the sinuses.

Do you sleep with you mouth open? That too can dry out the mouth and tongue especially.

Our patients who have had dry mouth tell us they are able to increase the flow of saliva if they use some form of Xylitol. One form of it is called Xylosweet and it comes in little packets or in a bulk container and it can be used as a mouth rinse when mixed with water. Another product called "Spry" with xylitol comes in different flavors of chewing gum and mints. The studies show that these products increase the flow of saliva and also decrease the risks of cavities.

So what do you think???
