Lately I've noticed my mouth is constantly dry, especially when I wake up. And now my gums are feeling kinda sore and sensitive. Wondering if the dryness could be causing gum issues...anyone else dealt with something similar?
"Wondering if the dryness could be causing gum issues..."
Yeah, dry mouth can definitely mess with your gums. I had something similar a while back—turned out I was mouth-breathing at night. Drinking more water and using a humidifier helped tons...might be worth trying?
Dry mouth can def mess with gums, but have you checked your toothpaste or mouthwash? Some of them made mine worse—especially the alcohol-based ones. Switching to something milder helped me a lot...might be worth a shot?

Good point, but honestly toothpaste didn't change much for me. Drinking more water throughout the day and chewing sugar-free gum made a bigger difference. Maybe try that too?
