Sjogren's Syndrome Foundation Patient Education Sheet
Simple Solutions for Treating Dry Mouth
Clinicians: Please make as many copies of this Patient Education Sheet as you want and distribute to your patients.
The SSF thanks Frederick Vivino, MD, FACR, University of Pennsylvania, Penn Rheumatology Associates & Sjögren’s Syndrome Center, Philadelphia, for authoring “Simple Solutions for Treating Dry Mouth.”
Ask your family doctor to discontinue or provide substitutes for all medications that cause dry mouth.
Eat smaller, more frequent meals to stimulate saliva flow.
Increase your intake of liquids (e.g. water, diet soda) during the day. Small sips work best.
Minimize time in air-conditioned environments such as offices, supermarkets, airplanes, etc.
Use a humidifier at bedtime (target humidity 40-50%) during the fall and winter months when the air is dry to increase nighttime moisture and decrease discomfort.
Stop cigarette, cigar and pipe smoking to lessen dryness and your risk for other health problems.
Chew sugar-free gum or suck on hard diabetic or sugar-free candies, fruit pits or lemon rinds to activate reflexes that will increase saliva. Look for products containing xylitol, a sweetner that may help prevent dental decay.
Try artificial salivas. Use 2-3 squirts in the mouth every hour while awake and at nighttime as needed. Do not spit out any preparation that is safe to swallow to help it last longer.
Avoid mouthwashes, fluoride rinses or products containing alcohol or witch hazel that can aggravate oral dryness or burning.
Apply vitamin E oil (use liquid or punch hole in capsules) or moisturing gels to dry or sore parts of the mouth or tongue. Use 2-3x/day after meals, at bedtime, when talking for long periods, exercising, or any other time your mouth needs long-lasting relief.

😀Subject: - Getting Started With Health & Fitness Training
ReplyDeleteHey Folks,
QUOTE: I told my doctor I get very
tired when I go on a diet, so he gave
me pep pills. Know what happened? I ate
faster. - Joe E. Lewis
One of the hardest parts of any fitness
program is getting started. It is so
easy to just sit around doing nothing
and it takes some degree of motivation
to get started exercising. Many people
find that joining a gym gives them the
motivation they need to get started and
follow through with regular workouts.
The reality is that most of the people
who join gyms never complete their
membership. Gyms actually base their
costing on the fact that the majority
of people will never use their
membership regularly.
Why is this so? There are many reasons
why people don't exercise regularly and
that can range from inconvenience to
boredom. When you are deciding what to
do to lift your level of fitness it is
wise to honestly think about your
personality and where your strengths
and weaknesses lie. If you are a person
who can motivate yourself then a home
gym might be the best solution as it
will offer the convenience of allowing
you to train whenever you like and you
won't need others to motivate you.

If, on the other hand, you find it
difficult to motivate yourself then a
membership at a gym might be a better
solution. Paying for the membership
might be all that is needed to ensure
that you will attend classes and often
we can get motivated by those around us
and challenge ourselves to improve and
compete with others in the gym.
Alternatively, you might be a person
who prefers to go for a run or a walk
rather than lift weights. No matter
what you are capable of doing, there is
only one action that you need to take
however small that might be initially
and that it to get started with some
form of fitness training sooner rather
rather than later.
Fitness will add to your overall
well-being and the more exercise you do
the fitter you will become, and the more
likely you will be to continue with a
fitness program.
There is never a better time to get
started than right now.
