Could Sensodyne Toothpaste Cause Dry Mouth?

I have extremely dry mouth, I have sinus issues too, allergies, but I have used about 3 tubes of Sensodyne toothpaste and that is about how long I have had such a dry mouth to the point I have to drink water all day just to talk. Could the toothpaste be causing it?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
There are reported cases of drymouth followed by using the sensodyne tooth paste. Nothing to be panic, you can keep sipping water, or you can use artificial salivary substitutes like carboxy methyl cellulose. You can use the sensodyne for 15days and stop.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
