LOL
He so wrong.
Actually, it really isn't funny.
The dry mouth will most likely improve somewhat with time, but might not totally disappear. Because it is important to salivate throughout the day to prevent tooth decay (saliva contains natural antibiotics and helps to maintain pH), you might want to find some sugarless sucking candy or gum to maintain salivation.
