Biotene: Due to the changes to your body, many pregnant women have various problems with their mouth during pg. Biotene is a great product that has gels and rinses specifically designed for those with dry mouth. Also talk to your dentist, we often try to get patients on prescription toothpaste and more frequent cleanings to help prevent typical pregnancy cavities and gingivitis.

Try this: You have a lot going on at the moment. I would make sure to drink plenty of water during the day, chew sugarless gum (trident white has xylitol which will stimulate saliva production) and use one of the oral wetting products like biotene or oasis.
