Dry Mouth Information 

We all need saliva to moisten and cleanse our mouths and digest food. Saliva also prevents infection by controlling bacteria and fungi in the mouth. When we don't produce enough saliva, our mouth gets dry and uncomfortable. Dry mouth is a common problem often caused by medication or radiation treatment or diseases that can damage the salivary glands.

Other possible causes of dry mouth:

• Insufficient water intake
• Dehydration from physical activity
• Smoking
• Mouth breathing
• High intake caffeine/alcohol causing dehydration

Fortunately, there are many effective treatments for dry mouth.
