Keep Your Mouth Feeling Its Best

When your mouth isn't producing enough saliva, you aren't washing bacteria and food particles away from your teeth and gums. This can increase your risks for dental health issues such as plaque, cavities, and gum disease.

As part of our general dental care, Dr. Stanfield can recommend lozenges or other products to alleviate your dry mouth discomfort.

He may also recommend other options to try at home. This could include chewing sugar-free gum and reducing your caffeine and alcohol consumption. You may want to avoid mouthwashes made with alcohol.

We can also recommend some over-the-counter products that may help, depending on the severity of your situation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dry Mouth

What does dry mouth mean?
If you have a chronic dry mouth, there could be a number of causes for this condition. It could be a result of a medication you're taking, insufficient saliva production, or diseases such as diabetes. Radiation treatment for cancer can also cause a dry mouth. We'll get to the root cause of your problem before any recommendations are made.
How can you treat dry mouth at home?

Depending on the cause of your dry mouth, you can take successful steps to remedy the condition. It may be as simple as drinking more water to keep you well hydrated. We can also recommend specialty products you can use at home to help keep your mouth moist so you feel more comfortable.

Can dry mouth cause bad breath?
Chronic bad breath is one of the symptoms of dry mouth. Normally, saliva helps wash away the dead cells that are constantly accumulating in your mouth. If they aren't removed, these cells cause your breath to smell bad. Saliva also helps rinse away substances that, when combined with the bacteria in your mouth, cause cavities and gum disease.
