A dry mouth can feel like a minor inconvenience, but it does more than make you reach for your water bottle.
Saliva helps clean your mouth, protect your teeth, and keep eating and speaking comfortable. When there isn’t enough of it, you may notice more sensitivity, bad breath, cavities, or irritated gums.
Medications are a common cause of dry mouth, and it can also become more noticeable as we age. If your mouth often feels dry, bring it up at your next visit. There are simple ways to help, and you don’t have to just put up with it. 🦷
