Suck a lemon drop: A way to increase saliva flow is to suck on lemon drop candy. Preferably sugar free. Or chew gum. That may help. There is artificial saliva available. The main thing is...Why do you have decreased saliva flow. This. Can be caused by medications, auto immune diseases, or blocked salivary glands. Go see a dentist or your md and get to the bottom of the problem.
