Dry Mouth (Xerostomia)


 
Dry Mouth, or Xerostomia, is a condition in which your body produces less saliva and can be caused by a variety of reasons:   side effect of certain medications, diseases or infections, certain medical treatments (such as radiation) and dehydration.  Dry mouth can increase a person's risk of developing gingivitis, gum disease, tooth decay and mouth infections such as thrush.  If you are experiencing dry mouth, be sure to talk with Dr. James B. Miller at your next dental visit or schedule an appointment to discuss your possible treatment options.
