Oral Hygiene/ Dry Mouth
            101
St Petersburg Dentist Talks Oral Hygiene/
               Dry Mouth 101

§  Everyday, the human mouth produces three pints of saliva
  that are used for a number of reasons. It is the saliva that
  prevents tooth decay and cleans plaque and excess food from
  the teeth. Apart from neutralizing acids inside the mouth,
  saliva also amplifies one’s sense of taste and it makes
  swallowing food easier.

§  One of the common mouth complications is the dry mouth or
  xerostomia. Some people think that having a dry mouth is just
  a very common problem. However, an extreme case of dry
  mouth can already be a symptom of a more serious bodily
  complication. This condition is caused by the lack of saliva in
  the mouth due to aging as well as side effects of medication
  intake. Drugs that are likely to cause dry mouth are anxiety
  and stress medications and muscle relaxants.

Ignoring a dry mouth can greatly affect one’s dental health and enjoyment of food. A person
will know that he has a dry mouth through the following symptoms:

1.    Sensation of dryness in the mouth

2.    Split or sore skin at the corners of the mouth

3.    Bad breath

4.    Stringy or thick saliva

5.    Sore throat

6.    Gum diseases, tooth decay, and plaque

7.    Cracked lips

8.    Disrupted sense of taste

9.    Hard time swallowing and speaking

§  Aside from being a side effect of medication intake, a dry mouth can
   also be due to nerve damage, wherein a person’s neck and head
   incur nerve damages from surgery or injury; tobacco chewing and
   smoking; as well as breathing and snoring with mouth open.
   Xerostomia is also an indication that a person has other health
   complications like diabetes, Alzheimer’s, or depression.

Tests, diagnosis, and treatments

§  If an individual is believed to have a dry mouth condition, it is
   highly recommended to immediately consult a doctor to confirm a
   diagnosis. The doctor will then review the patient’s medical records
   and conduct mouth examinations. Identifying the cause of dry
   mouth is done by means of imaging scans and blood tests.

§  Moreover, treatment for dry mouth varies according to the
  specified cause of the doctor. If medication intake is the
  cause, then the doctor will most likely recommend another
  medication or adjust the dosage intake. In most cases, good
  oral hygiene is the best treatment for this type of condition.

§  In some cases when the main cause of the condition cannot
  be determined or named by a doctor, there are a number of
  ways to alleviate dry mouth. A person diagnosed to have a dry
  mouth can try sucking and chewing on sugar-free candies or
  gums in order to improve saliva flow. It is also recommended
  not to eat or drink sugary goodies for these can result to tooth
  decay.

    night time.

2.  Regular water intake.

3.  Breathing through the nose and not through the mouth.

4.  Visit the dentist regularly

5.  Brush teeth regularly with fluoride toothpaste
