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.
