Xerostomia (dry mouth) means there is insufficient saliva in the mouth. It can arise as a side effect of some medication or menopause. Or it might be due to an underlying condition such as diabetes.
Key takeaways:
– People with dry mouth may struggle to swallow or talk.
– It is important to seek treatment for dry mouth as it can lead to teeth decay and gum disease.
– Make sure you visit your dentist if you suspect you have a dry mouth.
“Your dental team might recommend products such as rinses, gels, pastes and lozenges.”
