...Treating Dry Mouth Condition
Dry mouth, or xerostomia, is a condition that occurs when too little saliva is produced, leaving the mouth in a dry state. This malady can be caused by stress, certain medications and various diseases, such as AIDS. Having dry mouth can make it very difficult to eat, speak and swallow. Dry mouth can also contribute to problems with the teeth and gums, as saliva acts as a lubricant and helps wash away food particles and impurities. As such, with a lack of saliva in the mouth, there’s a greater likelihood of developing tooth decay and periodontal disease.
If you have dry mouth caused by the use of medication(s), your doctor may be able to adjust the dosages so that you will no longer have this side effect. Also, if a medical condition is causing your dry mouth, your doctor again will play a part in helping you get it under proper control so that it can either be completely eliminated or substantially reduced.
Generally speaking, drinking more fluids will help to moisten your mouth. Sucking on candy also helps to create saliva, as does chewing on gum. (Always use sugarless candy and gum though- it’s a better option for your teeth). Curtailing use of tobacco and alcohol products, along with minimizing ingestion of spicy foods, can be very beneficial in reducing dry mouth symptoms also.
