Xerostomia or Mouth Dryness Treatment

 

 Mouth Dryness

Mouth dryness, or xerostomia, is a common condition that can significantly affect your oral health. Saliva is essential for protecting your teeth, repairing minor damage, and supporting functions such as speaking, chewing, and swallowing.

When you experience dry mouth, your risk of developing cavities and gum disease increases. It can also lead to discomfort, including mouth sores and a persistent burning sensation. If you notice these symptoms, it’s important to seek professional dental care.

Dry mouth can be caused by several factors, including age-related changes in the salivary glands, medications (such as those for asthma, allergies, and high blood pressure), and lifestyle factors like stress or mouth breathing. In many cases, xerostomia is linked to a combination of factors, including medical treatments or specific health conditions. Recognizing the signs early and addressing the issue is key.
