Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Excessive mucous under the roof of mouth along with dryness in mouth is pointing towards reduced watery content of saliva leading to increased mucous content of saliva that gets stuck to the roof of mouth causing annoyance.

Do not get stressed as it does not look anything serious..

You should chew sugarfree chewing gums and suck lemon drops..
Use oral lubricants like Oralgel..
You can also drink plenty of water as it can help in improving dry mouth..

If there is no improvement consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
