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 Riata Dental looks forward to seeing you soon & developing a relationship with you to build the bridge toward long-term trust & successful dental care.

My daughter, Mary Henderson, referred me to Riata Dental when i needed a crown for a bad tooth. The dentist and his staff are cordial and efficient. I plan to use them for all of my care.

I needed work done, I'd been putting it off. I was in a lot of pain and they got me in the same day. They were sympathetic of my fear of the dentist and treated me accordingly. I would recommend Riata Dental without reservation.

The dentist is a quack. Read his Yelp reviews. He has no social skills, doesn't even greet you when he comes in. He's rough and no one cleans you up or gives you a basin to spit in. Highly unprofessional. My mom is stuck seeing this lame brain due to her insurance. Don't go see this guy unless you have too.

My favorite part about Riata Dental is that they allow me to make my own medical treatment decisions for myself and my children without pressuring me to do something I don't want to do. Dental care quality is excellent. The dentist is very hands on (other dentists will leave most care to hygienists or assistants). I highly recommend Riata Dental.

I went in for a wisdom tooth extraction, their staff was simply the best. Very friendly and extremely helpful. I was a walk-in and they got me back right away. I was in extreme pain and could not get help from any other dentist office in town. The orthopedic surgeon extracted my tooth with in minutes and was in no way painful! The best services I have ever had! They were truly a blessing, Thank you so very much! I would recommend your office to anyone and everyone in town! God bless your staff and all of you at Riata Dental!

The most disgusting doctors office I've ever been in. I took my child there for an exam and would not trust them to do the work. Dirty and unfriendly

All I can say is this "dentist" tortured me for 4 hours. He was very rude after I cried out in pain and left the exam room only to return and belittle me. Now I hate all dentists. How does he stay in business is beyond me.

Sadly our family is no longer going Riata Dental. And its not because of Dr, Uldrikson. We really like him. Story goes: Family member with in for annual cleaning. During that cleaning hit a tooth that was sensitive and was told need an x ray on tooth. Family member said its ok. They insisted and then told family member was not going to finish cleaning with out it. Ok after one tooth x-ray they decided to do more x ray's stating its been over a year.$255 dollars later when paying the bill. I ask why being charge for x-rays when coming in for cleaning? Told they would reduce the bill and they never did.So after paying close to $500 dollars for cleaning and unwanted x-ray's Decided this king of robbery was not the kind of people we need to be going with... Once again say because Dr Uldrikson is awesome!

Best dentist I have ever been to and the staff couldn't be nicer. It is true we had to reschedule once, but life happens and a person should not be blamed for that. Gentle, knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommend.
