Dry mouth

[Edl]

Hey! Does anyone get really dry mouth that wakes them up during the night? And you wake up in a panic. Any insight please as I'm so nervous.

You're probably sleeping with your mouth open or snoring. Atey you on any medication that can make you dry sometimes? I use a gel before bed which helps.

No I don't take medication. My mouth feels like a paste.

Mine started after having Covid.

Does it wake
You up?

Yes before I started using the gel,it was horrible.

I wake up to wee since the menopause plus a very dry mouth yes. Chew gum in the day and drink plenty of water. Loathe to take creams or Hrt as I get side effects badly.

I'm the same , try the mouth gel though,it's not hormone based just artificial saliva.

Unfortunately those products all contain mint and it would mean I could not use homoeopathy at home for minor ailments.

No, the one I use doesn't,it's unflavoured.

I double checked the ingredients. Unfortunately it has aqua in it which is something minty.

It is a right pain. Have been caught out with toothpaste too. Aroma is another ingredient I avoid. So hard searching for the right stuff!

Thanks anyway.

I think it may be worth trying it for me. It seems aqua is merely water lol. Cheers.

I also use homeopathy and have done for 30 years but have only ever even told not to take mint an hour before /after taking remedies not never.

With the gel,I clean my teeth then squirt it on my tongue and move it around my mouth. I keep it by my bed just in case but since using it I haven't needed a night time top up. Hope it works for you ,it's made such a difference to me.

@Augustus40 Aqua means water. It’s water, not mint!

Ah I see you’ve seen it. Good luck, it works.

Cheers ladies. The dry mouth in the night drives me bonkers!

This message was written from my brother who is experiencing this. Can it be something serious or just anxiety ? He gets it at random times.

I doubt it's serious, drink more water and try the gel.

It can be a common side effect of diabetes.

Hi, have just purchased the TePe gel on your recommendation having suffered with a dry mouth at night for over a year. But I cannot find anywhere that states the product is tooth friendly as I am worried about putting anything on my gums and teeth after cleaning my teeth before bed. Do you have any information on this?

Hello All, how are you getting on with this? Because I have the same problem. I am 28 weeks pregnant and I woke up with sudden dry mouth after covid 4 weeks ago. It is driving me crazy as I am almost not able at all to sleep. I have the gel and the spray and I drink plenty of water but it's not working that well. My mouth gets dry nonetheless and I find the feel of the gel unpleasant. I am really worried about not sleeping, for my health and for the baby but also because I need to be able to operate during the day of course (go to work etc). This is making it impossible. Can those of you who found a way to manage it explain how you do it please? Thanks, MKass
