Do you have dry mouth? Use a CPAP? Allergies that have you breathing through your mouth, especially at night?

Xerostomia is a bitch, and will lead to what hire describing. Xylitol gum and something like Xylimelts can help. I speak from personal experience.

No dry mouth, chronically. I've been told I breath through my mouth at times when I sleep. I breath a lot through my mouth when working out as well.

Thanks for the pointers. I'll look into them.

Best of luck, I know how frustrating it can be when you’re doing everything right, and the dentist still has bad news.
