Have Dry Mouth, Dry Lips, Upper And Lower Canine Teeth Pain. Took Zoloft, Modafinil. Give Me Suggestion

I think I may be experiencing dry mouth (not sure?) I have been taking 100mg of Zoloft daily and 200mg of modafinil twice daily. I have been at this dose for 6 months. My issue only began about 3-4 weeks ago. Mouth is very dry, lips feel extremely dry, in and out and I've noticed in the last week what looks like teeth indents/impressions on the inside of my lower lips and make upper and lower canine teeth ache. Water doesn't help (actually feels like it makes it worse) and I purchased Biotene products and still nothing. I have an appointment with the dentist next week but would love to know what is going on and if there is something I can do to help. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
