Brief Answer:
Effects of local anesthesia and drugs, lip balm

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The dryness and extra salivation can occur secondary to the local anesthesia and the drugs which you have taken during root canal treatment. Nothing to be panic. It will subside by its own. Till then you can apply lip balm to protect the lips. If it is not subsiding in a week then you consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. I hope I have answered your query Take care. If you have any queries reply me back.
