Consequences of dry mouth

April 30, 2017
Dry mouth can be associated with certain medical conditions, medications and other factors. If you have dry mouth, you may benefit from increased control over your health or switching medications. However, taking steps immediately to stimulate saliva flow can help reduce your risk of dry mouth complications.

Avoid acidic foods and beverages, increase your fluid intake and chew sugarless gum. Fibrous foods such as apples or celery can also be helpful as they stimulate saliva and mechanically clean teeth. An alcohol-free mouth rinse may be able to cut bacteria without increasing dryness. In serious cases, a saliva-replacement product may be necessary.

If you have dry mouth, Dr. Holly Nadji can help you determine the cause of your discomfort and provide you with a treatment plan to preserve your dental health and increase your comfort. Contact us today to schedule your next appointment.
