These can help make more saliva. * Eat soft and pureed foods, which may be easier to swallow. * Keep your lips moist with lip salves. * Moisten food with sauces, gravies, and salad dressings to make it easier to swallow. * If your dry mouth problem is severe, ask your doctor or dentist about products that coat, protect, and moisten your mouth and throat.
