A common, and often frustration oral condition, xerostomia can be caused by

  • numerous drugs , (prescription and over the counter)
  • salivary gland disease
  • smoking
  • cancer radiation therapy (to which saliva glands are very sensitive)
  • habitual mouth breathing
  • Other diseases


Besides the discomfort, inadequate saliva can cause increased tooth decay, gum problems, bad breath and digestion problems.
