For the last week or two i have been waking up with a very dry mouth. is there a remedy for this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sjogren syndrome: It is important to assess whether this is medication-related or to an inflammatory disease called sjogren's syndrome. If dryness is pathologic, oral hygiene is critical to minimize tooth loss. Mouth rinses can help.
