Why Is My Mouth So Dry? (And How Do I Fix It?)

[mikewat]

I typically drink around 2 gallons of water per day and I still have a dry mouth all the day long

Throat gets dry even though I drink a lot of water. Other than that, my neck sweats a lot while the other parts of my body doesn't.

I don't sleep with my moth open. When I get up my lips are stuck together.

Never thought of mouth taping. Anyone in the comments find that helps at all? Dry mouth affects my sleep. I wake up at 2:30am like clockwork for the last 2 weeks. So dry can’t even talk. I drink water but then cannot get back to sleep. Sleep deprived now and it’s getting very scary!

I swallowed a pill, it got stuck. Went to a and e hospital waited 3 hours. Woke, wasn't seen. Next morning had very dry mouth, this eas o er 2 months ago, its been chronically dry ever since, trouble eating and talking, have to have sugar free sweets all the time or gel. I think the shuck did it to me. Any advice.

Taping my wife’s mouth shut helped me sleep better😂

Could badly fitted tooth implants be a cause for the production of excessive amount of salvia.

Gone through years without sleeping with mouth open, then years with. There are other reasons and ways to truly solve this without an ear nose throat doctor

Hi dr. B. This is an interesting topic for me since I do get very dry mouth, but mostly during the night. It happens practically every night and I can feel it starting to happen just as it gets closer to my bedtime. I don't have any extreme breathing difficulties nor allergies nor do I take any medication. Imbibing some extra glasses of water before hitting the bed does not help, either. Food isn't an issue neither since I typically don't eat anything several hours before going to bed.

I have mentioned this to my doctor(s) on several occasions, but any useful advice is still forthcoming. This has only been going on for the last 5 years or so and I've mostly grown used to it, but it's still quite bothersome.

Hi Dr. B,

I would like to point out that while an ENT can be critical to restoring nasal breathing, dentists have a unique role with their capacity to deliver appliances that expand the maxilla and remodel the upper airway. Dr. David G. Singhs DNA/Vivos appliance, and Dr. Ted Belfors Homeoblock achieve this even in adults. I think you would find Dr. Mark A. Cruz's Airway Mini-Residency really quite fascinating, though I suppose with you being next-door to Stanford you may already be aware of much of the information covered. Still, I can't recommend attending the program enough to medical professionals.

[mamamia]

[thejeffersfamshorts]

I have dry mouth is it because I snore are is it because you could have a under lying issue ?

[mike]

🤣 I almost suffocated with the tape trick

[malaenamartin]

I just came across your videos. I appreciate your content! I have several autoimmune diseases including sjogrens. I’ve tried oral medications to increase saliva production but they make me so sick. I constantly drink water. I’ve tried the Biotene also. I battle cavities. My previous dentist shamed me and made me feel like a child that had done something wrong (I’m 46!). My new dentist is younger and he “gets it.” Do you have any other ideas to deal with the dry mouth?

[dillo]

hes not lying, my mouth is always extremely dry and when it gets bad I can feel my mouth being harmed

[Rita-ywtn]

I've have severe dry mouth and it's horrible please help me someone ! 😢
