Why does my mouth get dry after brushing my teeth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Couple of things: If you use a mouthwash with alcohol, this will dry your mouth. Toothpaste with lightening tend to be more drying as do some of the other in toothpaste. When you brush you are removing the mucoproteins that cover your teeth and this will make them feel different. So try changing your toothpaste and mouthwash and see if you feel better.
