Having problems with dry mouth possibly from medications

Dry mouth can lead to dental problems, so it is important to manage that. I use the Oral B Dry Mouth wash (no alcohol; xylitol is anti-bacterial) for several hours of relief. I do brush my teeth twice daily, particularly before bed. Waterpik is also useful. For daytime, I use biotene spray, lozenges or sugar free hard candy. I get a dental exam and cleaning every six months, to keep repercussions at bay.

Hi,
I feel sure my dry mouth is coming from my prescription drugs.
I also have a "heady" feeling all day long, I think from drugs...all blood pressure related.
My Doctor is great if you have no issues. When I asked her today to please refer me to someone if she could not help me...and she turned back to the "counter top to write a prescription and said the "F" word!! I'm still in shock!! Here we go, got to found a better Doctor...mine before was GREAT...but she retired!! Any ideas how to do this?
