Indications

Dry mouth can have various causes.It is often attributable to salivary gland hypofunction, which can be triggered by medications such as allergy drugs, painkillers, appetite suppressants, antihypertensives, antidepressants, sedatives, diuretics, anti-arrhythmics, or medication for Parkinson's disease.Infections such as mumps or HIV , as well as radiation therapy, can also cause dry mouth.

Dry mouth, also known as xerostomia, occurs when the salivary glands do not function adequately.In adults, the average unstimulated salivary flow rate is 0.25–0.35 ml/min.While excessive saliva flow can be measured, the term xerostomia describes the subjective sensation of a dry mouth, which is difficult to define by an exact threshold value.

It is important to prevent dry mouth and actively treat it when it occurs, as it can not only be uncomfortable but may also lead to inflammation or even tooth loss.Signs of dry mouth can include dryness of the oral mucosa, difficulty swallowing, increased mouth breathing, sleeping with the mouth open, problems chewing or speaking, bad breath, taste disturbances, denture intolerance, oral inflammation, and cracked lips.

Reduced saliva flow leads to a lack of important minerals—such as calcium and phosphate—that are normally absorbed into the tooth enamel.This can result in more rapid tooth decay, as saliva's natural protective mechanism is compromised.Without this protection, food residues and acids cannot be neutralized, leading to erosion damage on the tooth surface.
