A member asked:

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?

A doctor has provided 1 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.
