hello
Lewy body dementa is the second most common cause of dementia after alzheimers disease
this disease is famous for
hallucination, dementia, loss in self interest, severe mouth and body
muscle weakness,
urinary incontinence and open mouth syndrome
In open mouth syndrome , shows the more severe the dementia the more opening of mouth hence more urinary incontinence
have you ever slept under a fan with mouth open?
Same appears in open mouth syndrome due to lewy body dementia
You cant close the mouth but following will help
Mouth was like listerine
regular posture changing
placing a wet net cloth on mouthincrease the dose of
donepezil or memantine
mucolator satch use to decrease saliva thickness
Keeping the mouth wet with a dropper , but i wont recommend high water intake as sodium is low in lewy body dementia , more water will cause more sodium dilution, moderate use of water is recommended
hope this helps
take care
