Sometimes i have patients who are concerned about dry mouth. Dry mouth is a symptom of a lack from saliva production. It is most commonly associated with taking some medications. After talking to your physician, you might be able to switch to another medication if you think the current medication you are taking is causing your dry mouth. Lack of salivary flow also can be generally associated with aging. Regardless of the cause of dry mouth it can be devastating to the teeth because it allows for rampant cavity production. The best defense against that is good oral care at home and a regular visit with your dentist. If you need a regular checkup, give us a call or check out our website for more information.
