Informations supplémentaires

Dry mouth, known medically as xerostomia, occurs when you don't have enough saliva, or spit, in your mouth. A persistently dry mouth may signal an underlying disease or condition, so it's important to see your doctor, says the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which regulates products that relieve dry mouth. Dry mouth may make it difficult to speak, chew, and swallow, and may alter the taste of your food. It can also cause a sore throat, hoarseness, and bad breath. According to the Surgeon General's Report on Oral Health in America, dry mouth is a side effect of more than 400 prescription and over-the-counter drugs, such as antidepressants, antihistamines, muscle relaxants, and high blood pressure medicines.
