Chronic Dry Mouth

Dry mouth occurs when there is not enough saliva present to keep your mouth wet and moisturized. Experiencing a dry mouth from thirst is normal. If that feeling is consistent even when properly hydrated, you could be suffering from a more serious condition. Some common causes of dry mouth include nervousness, stress, reaction to medications, aging, radiation or chemotherapy treatments, autoimmune disorders, smoking and methamphetamine use. Symptoms of chronic dry mouth include:

  • Cracked lips
  • A sticky or dry feeling in your mouth or throat
  • Difficulty tasting, speaking, chewing or swallowing
  • A burning sensation in the mouth
  • A dry/thick feeling tongue
  • Gum irritation
  • Bad breath
  • Frequent tooth decay
  • Mouth sores

If you have any of these issues, please call us and schedule an appointment. Dr. Bridges or Dr. Buckner will help you get to the root of this problem and back to enjoying life without suffering from these symptoms!
