Yes. Dry mouth causes your nervous system to shut down porduction and can be equated to taking cyanide.
I think what you meant to ask is "is dry mouth caused by saliva production being stopped?"
And yes, if saliva production is stopped, you would suffer a dry mouth, but the converse of that, the question you asked, means you would have to suck on a wet sponge at times to avoid dry mouth.

What would happen to the digestive system if the nervous system shut down?
Well, I believe there's some sort of pump included in the nervous system. If that pump shut down, you'd die instantly, so you'd die instantly if the systems shut down. It's also highly unlikely that the digestive system would "shut down", as it begins in the mouth.

What other system is in place to protect the nervous system?
The nervous system is divided into two major parts called the central nervous system (CNS), which is made up of the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The peripheral nervous system is broken down into the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. Scientists further divide the autonomic nervous system into the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous system.

What is the difference between Peripheral and Central Nervous system?
CNS is brain and spinal cord. PNS are the sensory and motor neurons. The PNS breaks down further into the autonomic and the sensory-somatic nervous system The autonomic breaks down further into the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.
The autonomic nervous system includes which of these major components?
The Sympathetic and Parasympathetic nervous systems are the divisions of the ANS. The sympathetic is where "fight or flight" comes in, and the parasympathetic is what calms us down afterward -- they work to balance each other.
