i feel so uncomfortable when i make out because my mouth gets veeerrrrryyyy dry, and my tongue feels really rough when this happens. like i have very little saliva in my mouth.
most of the time i do have saliva in my mouth, but its like really watery (not like kinda thick and almost mucus-y like, so it coats your tongue and makes it slippery. hopefully this makes sense)
i try to drink as much water as possible, but i think i still might be a little dehydrated. i am also on a swim team and my mouth is exposed to chlorine. i know that it can dry out skin, but what about your tongue? like my tongue always feels really rough after practice.
any ideas?
thanks (link)

Of course you should drink water, and try to make it non-chlorinated. ;) Something else that might be helpful, though, is a mouthwash you can get at WalMart or places like that. It's specifically for dry mouth and it helps. It's called Oasis. If it's a continuing problem, ask your doctor or dentist at your next appointment. But this Oasis mouthwash really does help me. You can get a free sample sent to you via mail at walmart.com.
