You've got a new family here though, and I hope you'll keep on posting with us about every little thing. The dry mouth can be awful and I hope yours will improve. Folks have offered some good suggestions.
Sometimes biting gently on the sides of your tongue - assuming there are no issues there - can help stimulate saliva. It used to work for me when I was a flute player.
Thinking of you and sending positive vibes.
