Great place. Staff was very friendly and inviting. Keva cleaned my teeth she was great. Made me feel at ease and gave some great tips. Dr.Lyman was great explained everything very clearly. Great experience.
For many, dry mouth is just annoying, and not a serious problem. But for some it can lead to other serious conditions. Saliva keeps the tissues in our mouths well lubricated, keeps out teeth clean, and helps digest food.Inadequate saliva can be uncomfortable, lead to problems eating and speaking, and contribute to tooth decay.
While aging itself is responsible for some dry mouth,most cases are due to the side effects of medications. There are literally hundreds of medications that list dry mouth as a side effect. The dentist can help determine the particular causes of your dry mouth, and help rule out rarer but more serious conditions.
If a medication is the cause, your physician may be able to prescribe an alternate medication. Many common sense approaches will also help, including taking frequent sips of water and stimulating saliva with sugar free gum or candy. Reducing your intake of caffeine, carbonated beverages and alcohol may also help.
Consult the dentistto rule out some serious conditions that reduce the flow of saliva. Once she/he has ruled out other causes, the dentist will recommend some simple remedies. There are also some oral rinses and artificial saliva products available. The dentist will recommend that you be especially vigilant about oral hygiene, since inadequate saliva can increase your chance of tooth decay.
