How to Prevent Dry Mouth

Also known as “cotton mouth,” dry mouth (xerostomia) is a condition in which a person does not have enough saliva in their mouth.

Depending on the severity of dry mouth, it may be difficult to swallow, talk, eat, or taste food.

According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, symptoms of dry mouth may include “a sticky, dry feeling in the mouth; trouble chewing, swallowing, tasting, or speaking; a burning feeling in the mouth; a dry feeling in the throat; cracked lips; a dry, rough tongue; mouth sores; and/or an infection in the mouth.”

Individuals suffering from dry mouth are also at risk for dental decay, mouth infections or gum disease.

Fortunately, many simple home remedies, especially when used in combination, can help increase the production of saliva and reduce the impact of dry mouth.
