The clinical need to treat xerostomia


Serious symptoms and impact


Xerostomia (dry mouth) can lead to significant health problems, including:

  • Dental caries and increased plaque
  • Oral candidiasis
  • Inflammation of the gums and mucosa
  • Difficulty speaking, eating, and swallowing
  • Painful tongue and taste disorders
  • Burning and stinging sensations in the mouth
  • Difficulty wearing dentures due to lack of lubrication from saliva

Xerostomia has common causes affecting many patients seen in the dental office, including:

  • More than 400 prescription medications
    • Common xerostomic drugs include antihistamines, antipsychotics, diuretics, anticholinergics, antihypertensives, anti-Parkinson agents, and sedatives
  • Infection, dysfunction, or obstruction of the salivary glands
    • Sjögren's syndrome
  • Emotional factors such as fear or anxiety
