Dry mouth happens when your body doesn’t make enough saliva. This can be due to many reasons. Some medicines can cause it. Health issues like diabetes or autoimmune diseases may also lead to dry mouth. Even stress or dehydration can play a role.

Ignoring dry mouth can lead to bigger problems down the road. Without enough saliva, you’re more likely to get cavities or gum disease. That’s why seeing your dentist for dry mouth is so important.

As a biological holistic dental practice, we don’t just focus on teeth or gum problems, but issues that impact your entire well-being. Visiting us for these types of issues will ensure your mouth and body remain in top condition.

During your checkup, our team can help identify the cause and recommend the right treatment. Here is what you can expect:

  • First, your dentist will take a close look at your mouth, teeth, and gums. This thorough exam helps spot any issues caused by dry mouth.
  • Your dentist will discuss what might be causing your dry mouth. This could be medications, health conditions, or lifestyle factors.
  • Next, you will have a thorough but gentle cleaning. This is especially important since you have less saliva to keep your mouth healthy.
  • Your dentist will then suggest products just for you. These might include special toothpastes, mouthwashes, or even saliva substitutes to use at home.
  • You’ll also learn some easy tips to boost saliva flow. Simple changes in your daily routine can make a big difference in how your mouth feels.
