Dry mouth can be caused from a number of different health conditions. It can be caused from medications. It can be caused from being a mouth breather. And we try to address all those so that we catch that before it does wreak havoc on a patient’s oral health.
Over 400 medications can cause dry mouth. Source.

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.
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.
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.
