A dry mouth—also known as xerostomia—may seem like a minor inconvenience, but it can significantly affect your oral health and daily comfort. We help you identify the underlying causes and provide effective treatment options to restore healthy saliva flow and protect your teeth and gums.
Dry mouth may be temporary or chronic and can result from various factors, including:
Medications (e.g., antidepressants, blood pressure drugs)
Medical conditions such as diabetes, Sjögren’s syndrome, or stroke
Cancer treatments like chemotherapy or radiation
Mouth breathing or snoring
Dehydration
Tobacco or alcohol use
We begin by identifying the root cause of your dry mouth and tailoring a treatment plan that may include:
Saliva substitutes or mouthwashes designed for dry mouth
Prescription medications that stimulate saliva production
Fluoride treatments to protect against tooth decay
Lifestyle adjustments including hydration and diet changes
Treatment for underlying health issues (in collaboration with your physician)
