We Can Help with Dry Mouth

Dry mouth is a condition in which there is not enough saliva in the mouth. Most people experience dry mouth from time to time, but having dry most or all of the time can cause serious health issues. If you have dry mouth, you may have a hard time chewing, swallowing, speaking, or tasting. Since saliva is a key component in cleaning the mouth, dry mouth can increase the chance of cavities and other oral issues.

– Radiation cancer treatments
