Recently in a few discussions on /r/GERD, some users have noted a correlation between dry mouth and GERD. It makes sense on some level, because saliva is quite alkaline and helps neutralize acid in your mouth, throat, and esophagus. So it makes theoretical sense that lack of adequate saliva (dry mouth) could make GERD or Silent Reflux symptoms a notch or two worse. I've found one research article that touches on this--and I would be interested if anyone knows of more research: https://medcraveonline.com/JOENTR/salivary-stimulation-could-it-play-a-role-in-gerd-management.html And I thought it would be interesting to see how /r/GERD members are experiencing GERD vs dry mouth.
