Expert Dental Care for Dry Mouth Relief

Characterized by a decreased salivary flow, dry mouth not only causes discomfort but can also lead to more serious dental issues, including tooth decay. Dr. Dunlap and our team at Coshocton are dedicated to providing effective treatments and preventative measures to manage this condition.

Key Insights on Dry Mouth:

• Crucial Role of Saliva: Saliva acts as a natural buffer against acidity in the mouth, playing a vital role in preventing tooth decay.

• Common Causes: Factors contributing to dry mouth include dehydration, certain medications, vitamin A deficiency, and lifestyle habits such as smoking and tobacco use.

• Over-the-Counter Solutions: Products containing biotin and xylitol can help stimulate salivary flow and offer relief.

At Coshocton Dentistry, our approach to treating dry mouth includes:

• Personalized Consultations: Understanding your diet, medication, and lifestyle to identify potential causes.

• Professional Recommendations: Advising on hydration, dietary adjustments, and the use of specific over-the-counter aids.

• Avoidance of Certain Products: Steering clear of caffeine and alcohol-based mouthwashes that can exacerbate dry mouth symptoms.
