Saliva is one of your bodys natural defenses against plaque because it acts to rinse your mouth of cavity-causing bacteria and other harmful materials. Dry mouth (also called Xerostomia) is a fairly common condition that is caused by diminished saliva production.
People with medical conditions, such as an eating disorder or diabetes, are often plagued by dry mouth. Eating foods such as garlic, tobacco use, and some kinds of medications, including treatments such as cancer therapy can diminish the bodys production of saliva, leading to dry mouth. Other causes are related to aging (including rheumatoid arthritis), and compromised immune systems.
Some of the less alarming results of dry mouth include bad breath. But dry mouth can lead to more serious problems, including burning tongue syndrome, a painful condition caused by lack of moisture on the tongue.
If you dont have a medical condition that causes it, dry mouth can be minimized by sipping water regularly, chewing sugarless gum and avoiding smoking. Of course, there is no substitute for regular checkups and good oral hygiene.
A lifetime resident of the Pacific Northwest, Dr. Bruce Johnson was born in Alaska and raised in Edmonds. Bruce studied at the University of Washington and earned his doctorate from the School of Dentistry in 1980. Dr. Bruce practiced in North Seattle for 10 years prior to establishing his Kirkland practice in 1991.
To better understand patient needs, Dr. Bruce believes in a commitment to education. Continual involvement in Dental Study organizations and professional affiliations have been the most important source for his staying at the forefront of rapidly changing dental technology.
