Managing Xerostomia at Home

Recommendations

  • Brushing and flossing after every meal
  • Running a humidifier at night to add moisture to the air
  • Avoiding caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco, which can dry out the mouth
  • Using sugar-free candies and chewing gum sweetened with xylitol to stimulate saliva production and inhibit decay-causing bacteria
  • Using artificial saliva or moisture replacement products
  • Applying a moisturizing toothpaste
  • Using fluoride rinses to strengthen tooth enamel
*Using sugary gums, candies, or drinks to alleviate dryness can worsen the problem by providing more fuel for plaque bacteria.
