How to treat dry mouth at home >>
Here are some things you can do at home to help treat dry mouth at night:

  • Keep a glass of water next to your bed in case you wake up at night and your mouth is dry.
  • Avoid using mouthwash that contains alcohol, since this can be drying.
  • Use a humidifier in your room at night to help keep moisture in the air.
  • Try to consciously breathe through your nose, not your mouth.
  • Monitor your caffeine intake and, if necessary, reduce your caffeine consumption. Caffeine can make dry mouth worse.
  • Try chewing sugarless gum or sucking on sugarless candy.
  • Stop using tobacco (smoking or chewing).
  • Try to avoid over-the-counter antihistamines or decongestants, which can dry out your mouth.
  • Sip water throughout the day and minimize consumption of salty foods, especially at night.
