Tips To Ease Dry Mouth Dry mouth is more than just feeling thirsty. You get it when your mouth makes very little saliva -- or even none at all. What little saliva you have might be thick and stringy. Dry mouth can cause bad breath, make it harder to eat and swallow, and make it more difficult to speak. Check with your doctor to see if medicine might help ease your dry mouth symptoms. Sugar-free candy or sugar-free gum can help trigger your mouth to make more saliva. Sip water often to help keep your mouth moist. But skip sugary, acidic, or caffeinated drinks. Drinking water or milk with meals helps with chewing and swallowing. You can also try sleeping in a room with a humidifier to ease dry mouth symptoms. #SundaySpoonful
