Understanding Dry Mouth: Causes, Risks, and Prevention Tips

Dry mouth can be the result of many things. One of the most common causes is radio/chemotherapy, diabetes, Sjogren’s syndrome, hormonal disorders, tobacco, alcohol, stress, depression, anxiety and many medications.

Medications both bought over the counter and prescribed can have a side effect of oral/mouth dryness.

When your mouth is dry you are more likely to get tooth decay, tooth surface erosion, sensitivity, gum inflammation and trauma resulting in ulcers and soreness. Managing the dryness, eating a healthy diet and practising really good oral hygiene will all help prevent problems arising.
