Don’t let a dry mouth disrupt
your rest
In most cases, a dry mouth at night can be caused by medications, some medical conditions, and/or infections. Also, people who smoke or chew tobacco during the day may also have dryness in their mouth because tobacco products can affect the salivary glands.
Repeatedly waking up to drink water can disrupt your sleep.
A doctor or a dentist can help determine whether or not you have a dry mouth.
Use Biotène products before bedtime and keep a tube
of Biotène Moisturising Gel at your bedside.
You can also try these recommendations to help provide protection against a dry mouth before bedtime:
Use a humidifier to improve room
air moisture levels
Try nasal strips to make it easier to
breathe through your nose
Limit caffeine and alcohol, especially
in the evening as both can dry out the
mouth
Quit smoking, or cut back on
tobacco use
Using Biotène products and trying some of these helpful recommendations could help provide protection against a dry mouth.
