Dry mouth

Dry mouth, also called xerostomia, happens when your mouth does not make enough saliva. Dehydration, certain medicines, health conditions like diabetes, or habits such as smoking and drinking alcohol often cause it. It makes eating, speaking, and swallowing uncomfortable and raises your risk of tooth decay and gum disease. You can ease symptoms by sipping water often, chewing sugar-free gum, avoiding caffeine, alcohol, and smoking, or using saliva substitutes.
