What is dry mouth?

Dry mouth, or xerostomia, occurs when there isn’t enough saliva to keep the mouth moist. It is a symptom rather than a condition itself and can result from various causes, including medications, autoimmune diseases and certain medical treatments. 

People with dry mouth may experience a dry or rough tongue, mouth ulcers, difficulty chewing, swallowing and speaking, as well as increased risks of tooth decay and oral infections. 

What causes dry mouth?

Dry mouth, or xerostomia, can be caused by several factors, including dehydration, smoking, and certain lifestyle habits like snoring or excessive alcohol consumption. Certain medical conditions may also lead to dry mouth by affecting saliva production. 

Additionally, nerve damage from head or neck injuries, infections and medication side effects may result in dry mouth. Identifying and addressing the underlying cause is essential for effectively managing and alleviating the symptoms.

What products can help with a dry mouth? 

Several products may help manage dry mouth by stimulating saliva production or providing moisture. Sugar-free gum or lozenges may encourage saliva flow. Over-the-counter saliva substitutes or mouthwashes, dry mouth sprays and dry mouth gels designed for dry mouth may offer temporary relief and keep the mouth moist. 

Additionally, specialised toothpaste and oral rinses containing fluoride may help protect teeth from decay, which is a common complication of dry mouth. Avoiding alcohol-based mouthwashes and products with strong flavours or ingredients that may irritate a dry mouth is also recommended.

Can dry mouth treatment products be used every day?

Yes, many dry mouth treatment products can be used daily. Products like special mouthwashes designed for dry mouth are generally safe for regular use. These products help maintain moisture in the mouth, stimulate saliva production and protect teeth from decay. 

However, it’s important to follow the instructions provided with each product to avoid overuse. If you’re considering using dry mouth products daily, consult with your healthcare professional to ensure they’re suitable for your needs.
