Dry Mouth Explained

Dry mouth, also known as xerostomia, is a common condition that occurs when the salivary glands in the mouth do not produce enough saliva to keep the mouth moist. While it may seem like a minor inconvenience, dry mouth can lead to a range of uncomfortable symptoms and potentially serious health risks. Dry mouth can also be caused by certain medications, medical treatments, or underlying health conditions.
