Despite being uncomfortable, dry mouth alone is not a severe issue as long as it is not persistent. If it is, it can lead to various long-term health issues, ranging from irritating to dangerous. Someone who suffers from chronic dry mouth will likely experience mouth sores, splits at the corners of the mouth, cracked lips, increased plaque buildup & a greater risk of tooth decay & gum disease. You might even start to have nutrition issues, because the lack of saliva makes it more difficult to break down food when you eat.

Even if your dry mouth does not seem to be persistent, it is important to stay on top of treating it. The good news is that treatment is simple for most cases of dry mouth. First, make sure you stay hydrated by sipping on water throughout the day. For your dental & overall health, you should drink lots of water anyway! Dehydration, which dry mouth can be a sign of, is a serious health risk.

Other simple things you can do to treat dry mouth include chewing sugarless gum & limiting the salt, sugar & caffeinated drinks in your diet. Some people might recommend sucking on an ice cube or sugarless hard candy, but this can actually damage your teeth, so dont do it! You can also purchase nonprescription saliva substitutes over the counter to reduce your current issues.

If you use tobacco or drink alcohol, cut back on those or find a way to quit. Even if you dont think smoking or drinking is the root cause, those activities can irritate a dry mouth, so you should limit or stop them entirely. Plus, theyre just bad for you!

The best treatment for dry mouth always depends on the specific cause, so if home remedies or over-the-counter solutions dont prevent your dry mouth, it can indicate a more serious underlying health issue. In serious cases it is best to visit a physician or dentist who can work with you to figure out the root cause of your dry mouth & help you treat it.

We pride ourselves on taking the time to listen & get to know each patient as an individual. The entire team at California Easy Smiles looks forward to seeing you soon & developing a relationship with you to build the bridge toward long-term trust & successful dental care. See why our patients cant stop smiling!

Dr. Eftekhari graduated from dental school in Florida, and, after living in Miami for 30 years, he decided to move to California in 2018. After becoming a dentist, he felt the desire to give back & voluntarily enlisted in the U.S. Army, a decision he says was one of the best he ever made. With over 10 years of clinical experience, he proudly serves as a Captain in the Army Reserves helping soldiers with their dental care. During the height of the pandemic of 2020, Dr. Eftekhari took it upon himself to serve the nations call & assist in medical & dental readiness in Fort Riley, Kansas, away from his family & friends for several months.

Prior to becoming a dentist, Dr. Eftekhari was a professor of biology, general chemistry & organic chemistry. His classes were primarily located in Pepperdine University, though he taught throughout the LA area. He takes his passion for educating into the dental office & enjoys connecting with patients & explaining their treatment goals.

For fun, Dr. Samin Eftekhari is an avid photographer, most often turning his lens to landscapes throughout the country. You may even notice some of his photographs currently on display in the office! He loves to cook for his family & is a seasoned fisherman.

I've been coming to Dr. Rodriguez for 2 years, she is the best! She's so personable and I've never felt uncomfortable. She goes above and beyond to make the experience fast and painless. I took my 11 month old to her for his first dentist appointment and she was so good with him!

Having traveled good parts of Europe ,having logged quite a few miles in USA, being a senior ,obviously have seen enough dentist in my life. What sets Dr Rodriguez apat from others are her skill. Knowledge , honesty, integrity loving ,caring ,passion for her work. She is extremely calm, her staffs are super friendly ,the atmosphere is so relaxing ,you never think, you are in dental office. For someone like me who would be very tense to go to dentist now is a joy ,unlike before would look forward to my appointment, just like seeing a close friend or member of family. If you are looking for an honest. caring., loving ,dentist whom you would call. Close member of family call Dr Rodriguez office , You would not be disappointed, I called. I am glad I did !

I have been looking for a dentist in the South Orange County area since I moved to Mission Viejo. I highly, highly recommend this dental office, especially dentist Dr. Narda Rodriguez. She is absolutely incredible. Despite being young, I have complex dental/medical problems and she has been able to take me in as a new patient quickly, with easily available appointments around my work schedule, and I would refer everyone to come see her! Don't wait like I did, call today for top notch dental service!!
