Dry Mouth

Dry mouth, or xerostomia, can be a serious condition that affects both your health and appearance. It’s caused by a reduction in saliva flow, which can lead to uncomfortable symptoms such as a sticky feeling tongue and the sensation of having something stuck in your throat. In some cases, it can make eating difficult.

In addition to discomfort, dry mouth increases the likelihood of tooth decay and gum disease. Dental problems may require more extensive treatment if they’re not attended to promptly.
