? OSA: (Obstructive Sleep Apnea) can be the cause, you may need sleep medicine evaluation, but start with your primary doctor, also try to reduce weight if you are overweight or obese, best wishes

A tip to reduce dry mouth during sleep is to use a protective night gel inside an orthodontic retainer. It acts as a salvia substitute and potentially could reduce decay.
