How can you Cure Dry Mouth?


How can you cure Dry Mouth that is been Dry mouth for around 2 years?
(Also if you know: how can you cure Sjogren's Syndrome?)

It's my grandmother who is 79 years old who has Dry Muth.
and she has dry mouth from STRESS. Not smoking, She never smoked!

For some people taking a Zinc tab daily can help, others have had success taking an oral form of the drug pilocarpine(you need a prescription for this) but generally you just have to "manage" it with oral lubricants, mouthwashes and toothpastes made for dry mouth. Sleeping with a humidifier helps some too. And always carry that water bottle. Good luck and I hope this helped a little.

Quit smoking so much weed

The master says- You must get the spit of an ox, mix with pigeon stool, and consume.

If your doctor believes medication to be the cause, he or she may adjust your dosage or switch you to another medication that doesn't cause a dry mouth. Your doctor may also consider prescribing pilocarpine (Salagen) or cevimeline (Evoxac) to stimulate saliva production

I don't know a cure exactly,
but there is a new product out call Oasis (months ago on walmart.com they advertised a free sample and I got it for my mom and you can find it in the stores. It's to relieve dry mouth, so it's not a cure but it could help out. I think there's a mouthwash and toothpaste and maybe something else but I don't remember for sure ... but you might check it out, found in the pharmacy dept.

My dentist also told me to run your tongue on the inside if your gums and cheeks, it stirs up the salivary glands ... and it did work.

There are over-the-counter products, I use biotene dry mouth gum, toothpaste, & mouthwash.

Good Luck!
