Hello,
Some of the causes of dry mouth includes mouth breathing,drug induced,post radiation,sjogren syndrome(auto immune condition affecting salivary glands and tear glands).Consulting your doctor and trying to find out the cause is initial step.There are temporary measures like artificial saliva application to decrease dryness.
Thank you.
