Just curious if anyone else experiences major dry mouth. When I first put them in the morning I have way to much saliva then within minutes boom the dry mouth starts and it drives me freaking bananas!!
Does anyone know how to solve this problem....???
Thanks

I have the same problem. I even have times when I dont have them in and my mouth feels like a sandstorm is it. I asked one of my doctors, cant remember which one though, and he said it was because the trama to the gum tissue after an extraction causes it to happen.
I drink small sips of water with a squeeze of lemon in it and it helps some. But usually not much works.

Any ideas that will work I would love to hear also.

You can buy OTC dry mouth sprays, also Oral Balance moisturizing gel, all can be purchased at Walgreens or Walmart.
