Question 6

can dry mouth cause tongue and lip tingling.

Accepted Answer

Yes and no: Most people with dry mouth are actually irritating their lips and tongue without realizing it, given that the tongue has a mind of its own. Is it ok when you first wake up, ie after not working on it all night? Sometimes the cause of the dry mouth goes away, but the secondary irritation just keeps up because it is a behavioral change.

Cold sores &amp; stress: Herpes simplex is divided into two types: hsv type 1 and hsv type 2. Both of these conditions can affect your mouth or your genitals, and can be spread via oral sex.

Question 10

started realizing i have very dry mouth 2 weeks ago started hydrating, use products  n quit smoking. dry mouth seems better but lips still sticky. why?

Accepted Answer

Dry mouth: Dry mouth can be caused by smoking,  mouth breathing because of a blocked nose and mastication so that you are on.  Chewing sugar free of xylitol gums can stimulate saliva.  See an ENT about your nose.  Keep smoke free. Avoid mouthwashes with alcohol. Hope this helps.
