I have been using CPAP for over 20 years. In the last couple of months I have developed dry mouth. I have also lost 35 pounds and the pressure needed to be dropped. With the dr.'s permission I lowered it from 12 to 10 and with a chin strap I was able to solve my problem. The video is excellent, always look for solutions CPAP can save you heart and life! Be safe and healthy out there!

I have extreme dry mouth, and I use a full-face mask. Because I have one nostril that has an impacted airway, it is necessary for me to use the facial mask because I sleep with my mouth open. I also have a heated tube, because the regular tube got full of vapor and set off some kind of alarm. I use dry mouth rinse before going to sleep. Still wake up with a dry mouth. The oral rinse just helps me fall asleep.

I have been using cpap for 3 years. I have dried mouth, have increased humidity. I also haven been experiencing sinus issues, gum and teeth issues. Headaches. Burning in sinus on face. Ent say there are no polyps in the sinus passage. Dentist can find no issues either. Today I am going for a CT SCAN.. I have stopped using cpap in the meantime until issue gets resolved. In addition, the cpap I am using was recalled this week. 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️ My pulmonary dr just added a chin strap to resolve the dryness but I won’t get this sent until these issues are resolved.. I must say I do sleep so much better WITH the cpap… New info August: Recently been diagnosed with asthma. Not only is Cpap recalled, it stopped working. Doctor is currently trying to get another for me. Has been a disaster.
It took my husband over a year to get his new machine. Hope you've gotten yours and problems resolved. The hubs also has asthma. I just recently started sleeping with a cpap using the nose pillow mask. Had to use chin strap due to dry mouth. Also using Biotene dry mouth wash and GC MI Paste Plus to put on teeth prior to bed.

In my case I had a rare night where it took me over an hour to get to sleep. While I was waiting my mouth dried out. Mouth was closed with no leakage anywhere else. Humidification set to 4 of 5. Water is preheated. Non-heated hose. I have nasal pillows. I had a sleep study done to determine the cause of the dry mouth. I think the technician was out to prove mouth leakage, so when I had a minor lip leak they stopped monitoring and sent me home. To restate, my mouth dried out with mouth closed waiting to go to sleep. To me it seems that there is a physiological response to "pressurized" air blowing in the nose and I think those responses need to be documented (they might be already).

I can’t get an answer from the nurse tech or my doctor. Do I need a pressure adjustment, get use to the sudden gagging or change masks? I had nasal pillows & a chin strap with no luck.

If not, at lease use a high fluoride toothpaste. Your dentist should be able to recommend local brands &/or supplements . Good luck!

CPAPmyway: You sound like a Doctor or a seller of CPAP machines. Your recommendations are very theoretical and basic/trivial. Note that the biggest reason for dry mouth is "certain medications" which the patient may be taking. Further if max humidity does not work then NEVER use a heated hose as the humidity will be still less with heated hose. Using a room humidifier may help a little bit but is unlikely to resolve the problem completely. Your best option is to sleep in a cold place (temp of around 68 F or lower) and max the humidity on the machine. The side effect of this would be condensation in the hose which will start making noise. It could be so bad that one may have to remove the water from the hose every 3 to 4 hours. To fix this I reduce the humidity level slightly and it works perfectly.

I’m a bit disappointed as I have been through several masks and settled on the hybrid nose/mouth mask has the least leaks around my nose. I tape up my mouth every night using the 3m hypoallergenic paper tape. So no mouth leaks. I’ve been using a cpap machine for around 7 years and was really hoping to find a solution, as the dry mouth is causing repetitive infections. 😢 I’ve already got a heated hose which is way to warm to use on high here in summer as it’s already hot without breathing warm air too. The heated hose hets way hotter to feed it under the bed covers rather than over the top of my pillow. Sometimes I notice the heat makes my throat worse and turning the humidifier down gives me relief, other times turning it higher works.

I use a full face mask on Auto BiPAP. I am a bad mouth breather and as a result suffered from dry mouth. I have been using 3M Micropore tape to seal my lips together. Surprisingly I adapted very quickly and every morning I wake up the tape is still adhering and my mouth is sealed shut. Not only no more dirt mouth but my AHI numbers are definitely lower. This morning AHI was 0.0 Certainly worth a try for 2 very good reasons.

I have tried everything except the room humidifier but i don't see how that would help. The air i'm breathing is getting water from the humidifier so what difference would it make that the air going into the machine has a bit more humidity? The machine i use hs the heated hose and therefore i can't chose humidity levels, only temperature levels and then it automatically adds the water. If the air around it was more humid it would just add less itself.

I do use a lot of meds that dry my mouth out. Some days, it's even hard to open my mouth, as it is so dry. I am having problems with my teeth do to meds that cause dry mouth and possibly the Cpap. It doesn't happen all the time. Is there any kind of slim mouth guard that could be used. Im frustrated, I need the best sleep I can get and I need to protect my teeth.

I have been told about mouth leak but I find that difficult to believe because this has only been a recent problem with the dry mouth. My mouth and lips are glued shut they are so dry and I have to open them carefully to pull my lips apart. The only thing I have found helpful is turning down the air pressure after learning how to hack the settings from another video I have watched.

La boca seca puede ser porque al dormir se te abre la boca y sale el aire. Por eso recomienda que te pongas una banda que te mantenga la boca cerrada, o que uses somnifix u otra cinta adhesive para cerrar la boca (tiene una ranura para dejar respirar). Alternativamente, te recomienda cambiar a una mascara que cubra tanto la nariz como la boca al mismo tiempo. Tambien recomienda usar el humidificador en la maquina de CPAP, y en casos extremos tambien usar un humidificador del aire en tu habitacion. Buena suerte!

Respironics "Premier" is NOT it, that's a big thick bulky monster. Dry mouth still a challenge. Yrs ago Scripps doc told me when I've been using nasal pillows for long time, they don't like to go to full mask, where there are many more edges to your face contortions that pose leaks.

I started out with a full face mask but switched after about 1.5 weeks when I was hit with pretty bad pain/weakness in the left arm/shoulder/neck regions that, from my best guess, were from the below-ear strap pinching a nerve in my neck from how tight I had to make the straps to stop any mask leak. So I switched as soon as I could to a nasal mask. The dry mouth issue that brought up is a bit of a hassle to deal with, but the nerve issue was on another level and I don't want to risk going back to that. I found a chin strap to be only slightly helpful, and on my second style of mouth strips (the style that completely covers the lips all the way to the ends) I'm getting *decent* improvement. I might start trying a combination of both strap/tape.

RO water at least were I get mine doesn't have minerals no mineral the water doesn't evaporate, does boil off. Add mineral and it does.

I have been using cpap for over 15yrs. In the last year I have developed a dry mouth issue. It gets so bad; I wake with my throat pinched & coughing. I first encountered the problem when the pressure was increased, so we lowered the pressure to no avail. I still struggle with the issue & no-one seems to know what the cause is, let alone the solution. I thought I was mouth breathing, which is still a possibility. However, I note that often when I wake because of the dry mouth, my mouth is so dry, I can't open my mouth, my tongue is stuck to the roof of my mouth & my lips feel sealed shut. I noted with interest that the first point he makes is that if you have dry mouth, you're probably using a nasal mask. I have a full-face mask. If anyone has any ideas I would be happy to hear them.
