While dry mouth (Xerostomia) can happen if you’re dehydrated or nervous, persistent dry mouth could cause many oral and dental problems, including bad breath, dry lips, oral thrush, enamel erosion, tooth decay, and fungal infections, making it difficult to chew or swallow food. There could be several reasons for dry mouth. It usually occurs when not enough saliva is produced. This could be either because you aren’t drinking enough water, taking medication like antihistamines and antidepressants, have diabetes, undergoing radiotherapy, or have a blocked nose. Sometimes, dry mouth is caused by Sjogren’s Syndrome, a condition where the immune system harms the salivary glands. Patients with dry mouth often experience a parched sensation, which could sometimes be distracting and even painful. Some obvious dry mouth symptoms include dryness in the mouth, bad breath, sore throat, and trouble speaking.
