Default Lip smacking?

This is a strange question, but both my Yorkies do this thing when they are about to doze off, and their head is down where most of the weight is resting on their chin. They smack their lips, like "settling in" to sleep. They do it for a few seconds, then repeat every minute or so. (sometimes it's annoying!) but mostly I wonder if it's normal? I know Yorkies have little mouths and lots of dental issues. They are both 1.5 years old and have had their baby teeth already pulled. I have been using the OraVet tooth "wax" instead of brushing since their teeth were cleaned. I think I'm just being paranoid, but wanted to know if anyone else's dogs do this?
