What is Dry Mouth?

Dry mouth is a persistent feeling that there is not enough saliva in your mouth, making talking and eating difficult or embarrassing. Saliva lubricates and protects your mouth from infection by bacteria, from chemicals in the atmosphere and from hot food and drinks. Saliva coats your teeth and protects them. Reduced saliva flow can damage mouth tissue, cause dental decay and contribute to bad breath.

What Else Can I Do For My Dry Mouth?

• Sip water or sugar-free drinks often
• Avoid drinks which dry out the mouth, such as caffeine-containing drinks (coffee, tea, some soft drinks) and alcohol
• Chew sugar-free gums or sweets to stimulate saliva flow
• Avoid tobacco as this has a drying effect
• Use a humidifier at night to keep the air full of moisture.
