Everybody gets a dry mouth from time to time. Temporary mouth dryness can be brought on by dehydration, stress, or simply the normal reduction in saliva flow at night. But persistent mouth dryness, a condition known as xerostomia, is cause for concern.
Xerostomia occurs when your salivary glands, which normally keep your mouth moist by secreting saliva, are not working properly. A chronic lack of saliva has significant health implications. For one thing, it can be difficult to eat with a dry mouth; tasting, chewing and swallowing may also be affected. This could compromise your nutrition. Also, a dry mouth creates ideal conditions for tooth decay. Thats because saliva plays a very important role in keeping decay-causing oral bacteria in check and neutralizing the acids these bacteria produce; it is the acid in your mouth that erodes tooth enamel and starts the decay process. A dry mouth can also cause bad breath.
If you are taking any medication regularly, its possible that your physician can either suggest a substitute or adjust the dosage to relieve your symptoms of dry mouth. If this is not possible or has already been tried, here are some other things you can do:

ZERO stars. Received billing for a rescheduled appointment that wasn't actually cancelled by their receptionist. She even called the day of the original appointment to tell me is missed it and seemed to conveniently forget I had spoken with her a few days prior to rescheduled. Um hello????Were not willing to adjust the fake charges to the extent where I was required to file a grievance with my insurance company for fraudulent billing practices from this provider. The charges were deemed invalid from the provider. Was also treated rudely when I asked for MY records and was promised an electronic copy which I never received. Oh wait, why would it be safe to assume they could complete an honest task that is part of their job? Stay away from this provider if you like honesty, quality, and service; the practice is trash on every level.

Everyone here is so friendly. They care about not only your dental health but you as a person as well. I am happy to have found this dental office. I even tried bringing my boys here and they are on the spectrum, so I was worried, but they did amazing, and the dentist and hygienist talked them through everything. I was very impressed. Now they are also my boy's dentist as well. We love this Dental Office and everyone there including the receptionist.

I have been going here since we moved to Castle Rock a couple of years ago. Up until my recent visit it's been good as far as dentists go. I need work redone, which I received prior to them, but they weren't friendly or forthcoming about the procedure I need to have completed. I had to ask questions about each detail so I knew what to expect and it's not just a simple filling. I wish they had talked to me instead of around me, making me ask what exactly was happening. On top of this it felt like my hygienist was trying to scare me into brushing more. She has stated before that certain things "weren't normal", when no other dentist has told me that in 25 years. I'm not 15 years old. I've been around the block. The added anxiety is really not appreciated by people that do actually take care of their teeth.
