Dry Mouth

Many people suffer from having a dry mouth, and treating it is very essential for your oral health. Dry mouth can lead to halitosis and tooth decay over time. But what causes it and how can it be treated? 

Causes:

  • Different medications that you may be intaking.
  • Health Conditions
  • The Use of Drugs
  • Not Intaking Enough Water
  • Cancer Therapy
  • Tobacco Use

What are some signs? Many times you feel thirsty more than usually, cracked and chapped lips, tooth decay, irritated gums, difficulty swallowing and think saliva. 

Here at Rancho Dental, we care about our patients and want to make sure they have the best oral health possible. We strongly suggest staying hydrated, stop using gum, soda, or any medications that could cause having a dry mouth.
