Dry Mouth

What causes dry mouth?

Dry mouth can cause difficulties in tasting, chewing, swallowing, and speaking. If you have experienced dry mouth for a prolonged amount of time then you should see your dentist or physician and ask what can be done to obtain relief from dry mouth discomfort.

There are many causes of dry mouth. Individuals can suffer dry mouth when:

Glands in the mouth that make saliva are not working properly.
Side effects of some medicines - More than 400 medicines can cause the salivary glands to make less saliva.
Disease - Some diseases affect the salivary glands. Sjögren's syndrome, HIV/AIDS, and diabetes can all cause dry mouth.
Radiation therapy - The salivary glands can be damaged if they are exposed to radiation during cancer treatment.
Chemotherapy - Drugs used to treat cancer can make saliva thicker, causing the mouth to feel dry.
Nerve damage - Injury to the head or neck can damage the nerves that tell salivary glands to make saliva.

Don't delay speak to your dentist, maintain your daily oral hygiene routine and visit your dentist regularly.
