years ago depending on the meds i was on I got dry mouth but I drank diet soda for relief which was the worse thing I could do, the meds I take now don't cause the dry mouth. I don't grind my teeth but anxiety caused me to vomit often which adds acid. I also had PTSD and couldn't handle dentist plus who could afford them? I ended up getting my teeth pulled a few years ago. So youre not alone. I'm glad you found a good dentist that makes a huge difference I kind of wish I had bucked up and gone in sooner to take care of my teeth.
