Xerostomia (dry mouth) - We Can Help
Dry
mouth problem is common in the Flower Mound area. The lack of adequate saliva is more than
bothersome for three out of every ten Americans.
When the natural flow
of saliva is reduced, you can experience trouble swallowing, pain
throughout oral tissues and, nearly always, a short-cut to dental caries
and gum disease. The tongue sticks, food doesn't have much taste, and
digestion suffers. (For more details call us at (888) 462-4026.)
Dr. Wyatt knows that Xerostomia, or dry mouth syndrome, can come with
aging, or often as a side effect of many medications. Half
of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy experience an extreme form of
xerostomia, with critical effects on their dental health. We can help provide is relief in the form of
prescriptions for dry mouth
toothpaste, special saliva-producing chewing gum, or saliva substitute
solutions.
