Preserve Your Oral Health With Dry Mouth Treatment
Insufficient saliva production in your mouth can lead to the buildup of bacteria and food particles on your teeth and gums. Left untreated, it can result in dental health concerns like plaque buildup, cavities, and gum disease.
When you visit us for dry mouth treatment, your dentist will:
Examine your mouth to determine any underlying cause of the issue.
Recommend products, such as Biotene Dry Mouth Oral Rinse, Biotene Dry Mouth Lozenges, Biotene Moisturizing Mouth Spray, XyliMelts, and ACT Dry Mouth Fluoride Rinse. All of those products are designed to alleviate your symptoms.
Advise you on any changes necessary for your oral care routine or lifestyle.
If your dry mouth results from excessive nighttime mouth breathing, they may suggest options like SomniFix Sleep Strips and MyoTape (available in child and adult versions).
Regular checkups are also essential to maintain good oral health if you are living with chronic dry mouth. Be proactive about scheduling your cleanings and exams to ensure your smile stays in top form.
Call 559-242-1356 for an appointment if you are tired of dealing with dry mouth in Fresno. You can also schedule online.

Common Questions About Dry Mouth
What does dry mouth mean?
If you have a chronic dry mouth, there could be a number of causes for this condition. It could be as a result of a medication you’re taking, lack of sufficient saliva production, or a disease such as diabetes. Radiation treatment for cancer can also cause a dry mouth. We’ll get to the root cause of your problem before any recommendations are made.
How can you treat dry mouth at home?
Depending on the cause of your dry mouth, you can take successful steps to remedy the condition. It may be as simple as drinking more water to keep you well hydrated. We can also recommend specialty products you can use at home to help keep your mouth moist, so you feel more comfortable.
Is dry mouth a part of aging?
Dry mouth can be a common occurrence as we age, but it is not solely attributed to the aging process. Many factors can contribute to dry mouth, including certain medications, medical conditions, and lifestyle choices. However, aging itself is not a direct cause of dry mouth. It is important to identify the underlying cause of dry mouth and address it, as untreated dry mouth can increase the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
