I also did not read ALL of the posts, but saw some great recommendations. I tend to get dry mouth as well, and have found that a small dab of toothpaste just before entry can help and sometimes I will just pull my reg out and put it back in and that small amount of moisture helps (Mmmmm, saltwater & fish poop 
). I also sometimes get the opposite, thick heavy saliva and a post nasal drip too thick to swallow that creates a tickle/itch in the back of my throat that causes me to want to cough (happens in planes and building with heavy recirculated dry air too. I live in Colorado so pretty much all air here is dry). Coughing in your regulator is weird, especially the first time, but I've done it many times without any major issues and have passed the problem (spitting underwater has it's own challenges, face upward!) I've avoided the hard candy or cough drops as a solution to dry mouth because if the need to cough arises I feel like the potential to choke on one of them increases greatly. Then we have an entirely other problem. Hopefully the OP has resolved the issue and has continued diving with success. Cheers!
