Side-effects of dry mouth

Dry mouth, or Xerostomia, is becoming increasingly common. It can be a side-effect of some medication, or can be as a result of medical conditions, or ageing.

Symptoms can be relieved by sipping water regularly, chewing sugar-free gum or using glycerine mouthwashes or artificial saliva sprays.

Saliva plays a vital role in keeping your teeth and gums healthy, so if you do have a dry mouth problem is it important to let us know about it.
