Solutions for dry mouth

Wondering if any of you wonderful nurses have any solutions, over the counter products, or home remedies for dry mouth. Have tried Biotene gum, sugar free gum and candies, life savers, even an RX and nothing seems to work for. Any tricks or products you can recommend?

BTW...this is for me, not my patients, so glycerin swabs won't cut it when I'm in a code! :spin:
Hi, first when is this happening? Is it all the time on shift/at home, or just when your attending a code?

Comment:
Have you talked to a dentist?

I have the same problem, and found a product called Xylemelts that are little mints, that have a side that will stick to your teeth so you can park it out of the way. Everything disolves in a few hours. I use them at night and it helps tremendously. Just a suggestion.

All the time, but mostly at work due to the dry air, not the just the code!
