Dry Mouth

Dry mouth, also known as xerostomia, is a condition in which the mouth does not produce enough saliva. Saliva helps to keep the mouth moist, clean, and free of bacteria. When the mouth is dry, it can become irritated, red, and painful. It can also make it difficult to speak, swallow, and taste food.

The products that we stock can help to relieve the symptoms of dry mouth and can help to prevent complications. They include:

• Artificial saliva: Artificial saliva is a liquid that can be used to moisten the mouth. It is available in a variety of forms, such as sprays, gels, and lozenges.
• Sugar-free candy and gum: Sugar-free candy and gum can help to stimulate saliva production.
• Mouthwash: Mouthwash can help to kill bacteria and freshen the breath. Choose a mouthwash that is alcohol-free, as alcohol can dry out the mouth.
• Humidifier: A humidifier can add moisture to the air, which can help to relieve dry mouth.
• Medications: There are also a number of medications that can be used to treat dry mouth. These medications are typically prescribed by a doctor.

If you have dry mouth, it is important to see a dentist or doctor to rule out any underlying medical conditions. They can also recommend the best treatment for your individual needs.
