The Dangers of Dry Mouth


Does your mouth tend to become excessively dry on a regular basis? Some of the most common causes of this condition include specific medications, age and health issues such as diabetes.

However, you might not be aware that a chronically dry mouth can have a negative impact upon your gums and teeth. This is why speaking with a dentist is an important first step; he or she can recommend to proper course of treatment. Here are some of the dangers which a dry mouth can pose:

  • An accumulation of bacteria can lead to oral thrush, a condition that causes white patches inside the mouth.
  • Cavities may develop over time.
  • You are at a greater risk of gum disease.
  • The good news is that there are plenty of ways to combat dry mouth. For instance, you can chew sugar-free gum throughout the day or increase the water-rich fruits in your diet.

    “When you have chronic dry mouth, your body isn’t producing enough saliva to protect your teeth and gums from harmful bacteria and acids.”
