Dry mouth is an annoying condition caused by aging, medications, and environmental factors. The problem can inhibit eating and swallowing. Those suffering from dry mouth are much more likely to suffer from tooth decay. Fortunately, there are some dry mouth homeopathic remedies that have been proven to help increase saliva production to rid you of the condition.
Stay Hydrated
Taking frequent sips of water can help keep your mouth moist. There isn't much emphasis on how much to drink if you suffer from dry mouth. However, drinking often can help remedy your situation. Until your mouth is adequately hydrated, avoid soft drinks. The lack of saliva cannot effectively break down the acids in the beverage and this can lead to tooth damage.
Hard Candies
Sucking on hard candies throughout the day is a beneficial dry mouth homeopathic remedy. Sugarless candy is recommended to prevent tooth decay, which can happen quicker in those with dry mouth. Sugarless gum also works well in reducing dry mouth. Products containing sorbitol have been found to increase saliva production better than other candies.
Nasal Breathing
Concentrating on breathing only through your nose can help reduce dry mouth. The air you breathe will promote the dryness if you inhale and exhale through your mouth. If you cannot breathe well through your nose, try using a humidifier in your home. It can help keep the air moist so it will not dry out your mouth, especially at night while you sleep.
