Struggling with Dry Mouth? Here’s How CariFree Can Help

Experiencing dry mouth (xerostomia) isn't just uncomfortable—it can significantly impact your dental health, increasing your risk for tooth decay, gum disease, and oral infections. Dry mouth occurs when your salivary glands don’t produce enough saliva, crucial for maintaining a healthy oral environment. Fortunately, at South University Dental, we offer solutions that specifically address this common yet problematic condition.

Why Dry Mouth is a Serious Dental Concern

Saliva is vital for oral health because it:

  • Washes away food particles and debris
  • Neutralizes acids that damage enamel
  • Helps remineralize and strengthen teeth
  • Limits harmful bacterial growth

Without sufficient saliva, your teeth are more vulnerable to cavities, sensitivity, and other dental issues.

Causes of Dry Mouth

Dry mouth can occur for several reasons, including:

  • Side effects from medications
  • Aging
  • Health conditions such as diabetes or autoimmune diseases
  • Lifestyle factors, including smoking and dehydration
