Serious symptoms and impact


Xerostomia (dry mouth) can lead to significant health problems, including1,2:

  • Oral candidiasis
  • Inflammation of the gums and mucosa
  • Difficulty speaking, eating, and swallowing

  • Infection, dysfunction, or obstruction of the salivary glands4
    • Sjögren's syndrome
  • Emotional factors such as fear or anxiety4
