Don’t Let Chronic Dry Mouth Hurt Your Oral Health

A constant dry mouth can have several potential causes. No matter the cause, we’re dedicated to providing you with the most effective solutions to eliminate your symptoms. Our knowledgeable team will work with you to identify the factors contributing to your dry mouth problem, which may include:

  • Medications such as antidepressants, antihistamines, or blood pressure drugs
  • Medical conditions like diabetes, Sjogren’s syndrome, or autoimmune disorders
  • Radiation therapy to the head or neck
  • Lifestyle factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, or caffeine intake

Once we’ve determined the underlying causes of your dry mouth, we’ll develop a targeted treatment plan that combines proven therapies to help you achieve lasting relief. Our leading-edge treatment options include:

  • Xylitol Rinses – These specialized oral rinses contain xylitol, a natural sweetener that stimulates saliva production and helps prevent tooth decay.
  • Summus Medical Laser – This innovative laser technology stimulates salivary gland function, increasing saliva flow and providing long-lasting relief from dry mouth symptoms.

Your dentist can also provide personalized guidance on lifestyle changes and at-home care techniques to help manage your dry mouth. We may recommend:

  • Staying hydrated by drinking water regularly throughout the day
  • Using a humidifier to add moisture to the air, especially while sleeping
  • Avoiding tobacco, alcohol, and caffeine, all of which can exacerbate dry mouth
