Age or???: As we age things start to poop out. Sad but true. If your mother is complaining of dry mouth...Get some sugar free lemon drops for her to suck on and see if that helps. It could be a side effect of a medication she is on. And also, more common to women...She may have sjogren's syndrome which affects the salivary glands. Have her see an md.

See a dentist : If she's taking some medication, find out the side effects. Aging and hormones are also affecting her glands. There are some over the counter mouth rinse she can use that helps moisten the mouth. .

See your doctor: It's important to see your dentist or physician to find out why the mouth is dry. Depending on the cause of the dry mouth, your health care provider can recommend appropriate treatment.
