Cause?: Depends on the cause. If its caused by medications you are on, speak with your doctor about alternatives. There are also medications that can help stimulate saliva production. Sometimes chewing sugar-free gum or using saliva replacements or even water can help. It all depends on the cause and the severity.

Many causes : What is your medical history. There are many medications that have chronic dry mouth as a side affect. If you are taking medication i would discuss it with your physician. However, otc items such as biotene can help with the symptoms.
