Underlying causes of dry mouth such as dehydration, anxiety, infection, or drugs causing dry mouth should be managed if appropriate. Dry mouth may be relieved in many patients by simple measures such as frequent sips of cold unsweetened drinks or sucking pieces of ice or sugar-free fruit pastilles, or chewing sugar-free gum. There are different types of saliva stimulant/ substitute available and patient preference is likely to influence product acceptability and compliance.
