Dry mouth is a condition where your salivary glands don\u2019t produce enough saliva. As a result, your mouth feels dry and parched because of it. At The Dental Room, we can assist dry mouth conditions<\/a> and help you feel comfortable once again. Here\u2019s a look at what you need to know about this condition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Causes And Effects <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dry mouth is often caused by dehydration, but several other underlying conditions can cause it too, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Diabetes<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chemotherapy drugs or medication<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stress<\/p>\n\n\n\n Smoking<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anxiety<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aging<\/p>\n\n\n\n These are just some of the many causes of dry mouth. You might also experience it if you have a tendency to snore. Dry mouth causes a severely parched sensation that can also lead to pain and dry spots around the lips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Treatments<\/p>\n\n\n\n The best way to treat dry mouth is to sip water slowly, suck on ice cubes if needed, and limit your salt or sugar intake. You can also take over-the-counter saliva substitutes or chew gum to ease the discomfort. At The Dental Room, we can help you understand the source of your dry mouth and take the necessary steps to reduce the symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
