A frequently dry mouth isn’t just uncomfortable — it can lead to bad breath, tooth decay, and gum disease. Dry mouth (“xerostomia”) is a condition that happens when the salivary glands in your mouth don't produce enough saliva. It can be caused by medication, medical conditions, to***co use, alcohol consumption, or eating certain foods. Talk to us about dry mouth. We can suggest ways to treat it, such as special lozenges, hydrating sprays, or simple lifestyle changes.

Somewhere between the ages of 17 and 21, most young adults experience the eruption of their third molars (also known as wisdom teeth).

If wisdom teeth come in properly and there’s room for them in your mouth, they can help you chew. But crowded or partially-erupted wisdom teeth can lead to pain, infections, tooth decay, and cysts, in which case it’s best to have them removed for your own comfort and safety.

If you do wind up keeping your wisdom teeth past your mid to late twenties, we’ll continue to monitor them to make sure they don’t cause problems down the road.

Helping someone else care for their teeth and gums isn’t always easy. They may not be able to brush or floss but it's important not to let those habits slide. Keeping the mouth clean lowers the risk of bacteria in the mouth moving into the lungs and causing infections. Ask us about special tools that can help when brushing and flossing another person’s teeth.

Be sure to pay attention to your loved one’s eating habits if they wear dentures, as they may be having discomfort and need their dentures adjusted or replaced.

No matter the age or mobility, a clean and healthy mouth is important for overall health.

Mouthwashes containing alcohol are known to dry out your mouth, which causes an increase in the bad bacteria that can lead to tooth decay. Switch out alcohol-based mouthwashes for ones containing xylitol to help with saliva production.
