thankas for your query, i have gone through your query. the dryness could be because of the stone in the salivary gland duct or decreased function of the gland or it can be because of medicines. because of the reduced salivary secretion you are feeling that roughness. consult your oral physician and get yourself examined to rule out the disorder. you need to take radiographs to rule out any stone. you can drink lot of water. keep sipping the water. you can also use artificial salivary substitutes like wet mouth gel. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
