It’s one of those things that folks say, ”You just know.”

What are the symptoms of xerostomia—the clinical term for full-blown dry mouth? Common ones include:

  • A sticky, dry feeling in the mouth
  • Frequent thirst
  • Sores in the mouth; sores or split skin at the corners of the mouth; cracked lips
  • A dry feeling in the throat
  • A burning or tingling sensation in the mouth and especially on the tongue
  • A dry, red, raw tongue
  • Problems speaking or trouble tasting, chewing, and swallowing
  • Hoarseness, dry nasal passages, sore throat
  • Bad breath

If you’re experiencing any of these conditions, think about seeing a healthcare professional and/or trying a topical remedy like NeutraSal.
