Dry mouth and unpleasant breath unfortunately go hand in hand. Dry mouth can actually cause a ton of different oral issues and actually greatly increases your susceptibility to cavities. I have a prescription that also dries out my mouth and I’ve found the xylimelt oral tablets to be life savers. They stick to your gums or the outside of your back teeth. Super easy to place. They stimulate your parotid gland to make more saliva and they contain xylitol which is great for your mouth. I 100% recommend them. You can get a 3 pack on amazon for about 20 bucks and they last me about a month. I put two in every night before bed and will occasionally place one throughout the day if I haven’t been able to drink a ton of water (which I also recommend doing). There’s some rinses and little mint type things that also help with dry mouth but I’ve found these specific tablets to be by far the most effective

Usually the mouthwash biotine mouthwash will really help with tongue bite and recovery. It'll also help with the bad tastes.

Your bad breath could have a few causes.

Dry mouth from slight dehydration or from ketones because you're dipping into ketosis between meals. Drink more water firstly and I think gum or sugar free mints are fine - sometimes we over think things and get lost in the details.

I highly recommend a tongue scraper for general oral hygiene and maybe give this mouthwash
and toothpaste a try. Something like this may be helpful for dry mouth that comes along with fasting/ketone breath.

u/Engin3er · 6 pointsr/Hyperhidrosis

Hey Man--Glyco is great. Its life changing and can really help control your hyperhidrosis with a few other supplemental treatments. I highly recommend you try it, along with other supplemental practices, to get your hyperhidrosis under control/take control of your life.

I have pretty bad palmar/plantar hyperhidrosis, with a bit of axillary thrown in there. I lived with this for the longest time and used things to cover it up (folded pieces of paper when taking notes in class, avoid shaking hands, going to washroom to wash hands, etc.). After I graduated college, I decided to start seeking treatment for it, and went to a dermatologist.

My dermatologist prescribed me Glyco, and it gets it really under control. In addition to this, I started using prescription strength deodorant (use it properly, apply it before you go to bed at night, and then use normal deodorant for the day). With both these treatments, my hyperhidrosis is relatively under control.

Things to note about Glyco

  • Glyco will usually take 3 - 4 hours to kick in. If you take it around 7 - 8, it won't be effective until 10 - 12. For me it usually takes longer (4 - 5 hours) to kick in. A lot of people wake up at 5, take Glyco, and then go back to sleep. This way Glyco starts to take effect around 9 - 10 when you're in the office. My dermatologist recommended this solution to me, and it works wonders.
  • The first time you take Glyco or if you begin taking it again after a break, you may have a headache. Be prepared for this by drinking a lot of water and getting ready to end your day a bit early if you have to. (I work in a really stressful field and pull long hours at times, if I'm taking glyco after a break, I plan on ending my day at a normal time around 5 - 6).
  • Your mouth will be dry. Try using a hydrating mouthwash (e.g. Biodene) or gum. I keep a small bottle of biodene in my briefcase. Dry mouth = bad breath.

    • How bad is/was your Palmar Hyperhidrosis before any treatment? Did you drip?

    My Palmar Hyperdrosis was pretty bad. My hands were always clamy and if I didn't wipe them on my clothes/towels, they would start dripping. I also had Plantar Hyperdrosis and my socks would often be soaked by the end of the day if I couldn't change them.

    • How big of a dosage do you take to help your Palmar HH?

    I think I take 2mg. You will build up a tolerance, so you may have to up the dosage or take breaks once in a while (break = 1 - 2 weeks).


    • How effective he Glyco been for you personally with preventing you sweaty hands? Are they completely dry? Do they still drip? Are they just clamy?
    Its been extremely effective. They are dry most of the time, although stressful situations sometimes cause sweating. This usually stops. Clamy-ness is definitely gone. Before, even if I'm not in a stressful situation, my hands are clamy at best. With Glyco, hands are never clamy.

    Look luck buddy. Get this shit under control and your life will be so much better. Its worth putting in the effort to look up treatments and spend some time building habits to manage your own treatment (Look up Power of Habit if you need some inspiration!).

I think Biotenehas been listed a must-have after surgery on various posts and lists around here.

u/jeremypr82 · 4 pointsr/Dentistry

Ditch the crest, use this toothpaste instead: http://amzn.com/B00R3K2KZ8

Nothing is better for dry mouth.

Try these also: http://amzn.com/B001A40M1M

If all else fails, ask your doctor/dentist for a prescription of this: http://www.neutrasal.com/about-neutrasal.html

good luck

i paid out of pocket 400$ for fluoride trays. I put Gel Kam in them nightly and wear them to bed. But I have heard of some people just using Gel Kam by applying it by finger (it's a loose gel) overnight, without any trays, to help with dry mouth. There is also biotene (who has a whole line of products for dry mouth) 'oralbalance moisturizing gel' for night use.

Did you know Amazon will donate a portion of every purchase if you shop by going to smile.amazon.com instead? Over $50,000,000 has been raised for charity - all you need to do is change the URL!

Getting a sleep study that diagnosed my sleep apnea was huge. Back in late high school I was sleeping 14+ hours a day because I was exhausted all the time, and my sleep didn't make me feel any better at all. I was micro-sleeping in class, while driving(!), doing homework, etc and I felt like crap all the time.

Getting a CPAP machine changed me from a zombie into a functional person again. No more micro-sleeps, I can actually get out of bed when I wake up, and life is just better in general. My AHI in the sleep study was moderately high, I think it was somewhere in the 40-50 range, but I don't remember exactly. Now my average AHI is 1.15.

There are some possible issues with using a CPAP, the biggest one I encountered was extremely dry mouth even with the humidifier on max. There are a few products that can help with that, but most of them have dairy and I'm allergic, so I have been using these and I don't have much of a problem anymore. Mask leaks can also be a pain, you'll probably wake up with very dry, red eyes from time to time if you don't have a perfect fit, but there are a few ways to get around that.

u/norwigga · 3 pointsr/Hyperhidrosis

Most likely because it’s so dry. Try mints with xylitol or xylitol gum. You can find them in grocery or drug stores, and it makes you salivate. There’s also xylitol spray (biotene) that you can carry with you, it should help quite a bit.

I got some mints off of Amazon that stick to the inside of your gums. They were kind of expensive though, cheap ones do the same thing without the sticking to your mouth part... Here are the ones I got.

Yep. The only one I've tried is called biotene, but there are others.

Not a dentist, but I have severe TMJD and I have a normal bite splint made out of thick acrylic that goes on the top. I drool in my sleep and I snore. I like to use these at night and they seem to help with dry mouth during the day and night. https://www.amazon.com/XyliMelts-Dry-Mouth-Mint-Free-80-Count/dp/B001A42R1A

u/semiramisx · 2 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

I had my lip pierced in the center in college, so here is my experience.

They actually put in a ring for me when they pierced it. It wasn't right but I liked that it could lean to a side and stuck with it. I don't know if they'd give you a tight one right away because it does swell and I found that it helped to turn it to clean it when it was healing.

They give you instructions on how to take care of it but the best thing they told me was to use biotene mouthwash until it was healed. This is what it looks like:

http://www.amazon.com/Biotene-Mouthwash-16-Fl-Oz/dp/B000052YCL

But you can get it at any drugstore.

For me it was not painful, just a definite sensation of being pierced, if that makes sense.

My only warning is that I had mine in for maybe 2 years, 3 tops and about 4 years since I have taken it out I still have a somewhat visible hole. No one usually notices unless I point it out but then they definitely see it and go "Ohh, yeah.." A few people have asked me about it.

Just took this photo to show you, again it's been about 4 years.

I don't want to be low energy, but as someone that has problems with excess sweating I've also experienced dry mouth as another side effect of anxiety. Rubio is just using a product designed to make your mouth produce more saliva. There's no ways he's popping amphetamine salts knowing he's on camera, but the way he had to take a sip of water during the Republican Rebuttal to the President's State of The Union suggests, at least to me, that he suffers from Anxiety.

This is a product I've used to help reduce my dry mouth and it wouldn't surprise me if that's all that is going on.

u/LostInUserSub · 2 pointsr/Drugs

Everyone raving about Biotene, I actually suggest using XyliMelts. Amazing product. Lasts MUCH longer, easier to use, stays in your mouth, etc. Take a look at the mass positive reviews. Works beautifully. Nothing else worked too well, started using XyliMelts and have yet to find anything better. They can actually be ordered through local Walgreens and pickup, free shipping. (I prefer mint free, so I can still eat or drink without affecting taste)

What country are you in? I get them from Amazon because most stores don't have them. I like the ones with mint in them, but they make one without mint, too.

u/desert_throat · 1 pointr/ADHD

Brilliant! Thank you - I'd never heard of this product, but it seems like something that would help a ton. If you've used it, does it work well for you? Can you still drink water, or does that dissolve it faster?

And this is the one, yes?

Check your leak. If it's normal, try biotene before bed, and/or xylomelts

u/sublimnl · 1 pointr/SleepApnea

I use Xylimelts - they are a little awkward at first, but definitely help increase saliva production while I sleep and use the mask.

u/slpme1 · 1 pointr/intermittentfasting

So I have extreme dry mouth from medications and searched high and low for the best options. It wasn't until I started working with laryngeal cancer patients that they tipped me off on the best option when therabreath and Biotene failed. Not sure if this product will break fast (technically) or not, but I now recommend these to my patients for dry mouth. Acidic things like lemon and alcohol in mouthwash will just cause more drying
