Question:
A suggestion fro dry mouth....

I have not had the surgery yet, still researching surgeons. I do know of something for dry mouth. My mom was on hospice before she died of cancer and she had a terrible time with dry mouth from the meds and so forth. The hospice nurse supplied me with these swabs(little sponges on a stick) that you put this liquid stuff on to swirl up around the gums and teeth and top of mouth. It seemed to make a world of difference. If you have a hospice care center in your area, maybe contact them to find out how to get them.    — [Anonymous] (posted on July 22, 2001)

You can also get them from the hospital where you have the surgery. Mine supplied spearmint ones and they really did work great. Once home another suggestion for dry mouth is sugar free popsicles. It takes awhile to get through a small popsicle so I place it in a paper cup and when I've had enough and put it in the freezer for later.

I HAD SO MUCH TROUBLE WITH DRY MOUTH WHILE USING MY CPAP MACHINE - HOWEVER THAT WAS UNTIL I FOUND A PRODUCT PUT OUT BY ORAJEL CALL ORAJEL DRY MOUTH MOISTURIZING GEL - JUST USE A SMALL AMOUNT BEFORE GOING TO SLEEP AND IT HELPS YOU SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT LONGER - BEFORE I WOULD WAKE UP IN MY SLEEP RIGHT AFTER I FELL ASLEEP AND TOOK OFF THE MASK WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING IT. NOW I SLEEP FOR HOURS. IF I NEED MORE I JUST SIMPLE WAKE UP AND PUT MORE ON MY TONGUE AND AROUNF MY MOUTH AND GO RIGHT BACK TO SLEEP PLUS IT DOES NOT TASTE BAD! PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME ABOUT IT AT [email protected]
