Hey everyone! New guy here. Been on CPAP for 3 weeks. No struggle wearing the N20 nasal mask but still dialing in the dry mouth & air leak. Fiddling with chinstraps & humidity now. Still, overall its not bad. No real questions as I’m still searching through the new user posts and search tool (I still have roughly 15,000 “dry mouth” posts to sort thru...lol). Just wanted to say hi.

Re: CPAP Newbie just checking in
Welcome to the forum. Mouth breathing will cause dry mouth. Many of us use a firm foam cervical collar to help keep our mouth closed. Others have had great success with chin straps. I use the cervical collar when sleeping, which keeps my mouth closed. I have tried using nasal masks and nasal pillows, but have been unable to keep my mouth closed when sleeping, even with the cervical collar.

Growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional.
