Persistent dry mouth can cause a variety of uncomfortable symptoms, including cracked lips, a sore throat, and a feeling of stickiness. Decreased saliva can also lead to frequent thirst and mouth sores.

Without sufficient saliva, normal daily activities can be more difficult. You may struggle to speak due to a hoarse voice or need to drink water frequently in order to swallow. Many individuals with dry mouth also have a decreased sense of taste.

Smoking and chewing tobacco can affect the amount of saliva you produce and exacerbate dry mouth. Regularly breathing with your mouth open can also contribute to dry mouth symptoms. Individuals with seasonal allergies or other conditions that limit their ability to breathe through their nose may suffer with frequent dry mouth as well.

Dry mouth is a common side effect of hundreds of prescription and over-the-counter medications, including antidepressants, antihistamines, and pain relievers. Some cancer therapies can also affect saliva.

Decreased salivationis also associated with health conditions. Nerve damage in the head or neck can affect salivary glands. Dry mouth can also result from diabetes, Alzheimers disease, and certain autoimmune disorders.

Discussing your symptoms and medical history with your dentist is the best way to determine if your dry mouth is serious. They can review the medications you are taking, including over-the-counter medications, and examine your mouth for signs of serious issues.

There are a variety of products available to lubricate the inside of your mouth. Your dentist may recommend a prescription or over-the-counter mouthwash designed for dry mouth, artificial saliva, or a moisturizer.

The secretary told me they accepted my insurance so they did the work. Very good work and nice people. At the end they told me that I needed to pay around $600. The staff did not want to help me at all. Just double check if your insurance covers first.

Dr. Jay Measells is an excellent dentist. Jay isn't happy unless the patient is happy. If you want a dentist that takes personal pride in their work, then you should see Dr. Measells.

Told me they accepted my insurance so they did the work, even provided me with a detailed breakdown of what my copay would be, and then the next day the office calls me to tell me they don't actually take my insurance and I owe them almost $400. The staff did not want to help me nor were they sympathetic even though THEY were the ones who screwed me over. I would avoid and I have told all of my coworkers to avoid this place and to tell their friends. Further update: They have since publicly lied to me and accused me of also lying. Do you want to go to a dentist who lies?

Dr. Measells performed repairs to several of my teeth on February 8, 2016. I was delighted with the results. He and his staff are true professionals, though they treat you like family. I could not be more pleased with my experience with him and his team.
