Dry Mouth

Dry mouth (xerostomia) is one of the most common — and most overlooked — causes of bad breath, cavities, and difficulty swallowing. The articles in this tag cover what triggers it, including medications, mouth breathing, and dehydration, and how to protect your teeth when saliva flow drops. You'll also find practical product recommendations and the in-office treatments we offer at the Center for Breath Treatment for patients whose dry mouth is chronic rather than situational.
