<i>Dealing with dry mouth</i>
Dry mouth is more than just uncomfortable. A lack of saliva to moisten your mouth also can lead to tooth damage, the American Dental Association warns. The association offers these suggestions for people with dry mouth: * Chew sugar-free gum. * Suck on sugar-free hard candies. * Use an oral rinse. * Use an artificial saliva solution. Speak with your dentist first. * Discuss with a doctor or dentist any medications you are taking that could be causing dry mouth.
