Health Remedies - Xerostomia

Product Categories

Xerostomia is dryness of the mouth due to a lack of saliva. It is commonly known as dry mouth. Normally, it occurs in stressful conditions. Some factors such as alcoholism, smoking, tobacco,continuous mouth breathing and certain medications may also cause this condition. But persistent dry mouth may indicate serious disease conditions such as poorly controlled diabetes, sjogren syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, hypothyroidism etc.

Xerostomia can cause difficulties in tasting, chewing, swallowing, and speaking. It also leads to bad breath or halitosis. If it goes untreated, severe dry mouth can also lead to increased levels of tooth decay and infections of the mouth such as thrush.
