Do you wake up one morning with that tacky, dry sensation in your mouth? You're definitely not the only one. Dry mouth — or xerostomia — is a problem that affects millions, and it's more than just a nagging annoyance. This everyday condition can affect your breath, taste, and even threaten your dental health.
What Causes Dry Mouth?
Let's get into some of the main culprits for this annoying condition:
Medications: Most everyday medications have dry mouth as a listed side effect. If you're on meds, it may be time to see if this is happening to you.
Mouth Breathing: This tends to happen most when we sleep. If you're a mouth breather while sleeping, you could wake up with a dry palate.
Age: With age, our salivary flow naturally slows down, which causes that unpleasant dryness.
☕Caffeine & Dehydration: Both can contribute to a dramatic decrease in saliva production, causing your mouth to feel parched.
Why Saliva is Important
You'd be amazed to discover that saliva is not water at all, but rather a vital component in maintaining oral health. Rich in essential minerals, saliva functions to defend your teeth and maintain a healthy balance of bacteria in your mouth. When your saliva levels fall, your smile suffers. Bad breath, loss of taste, and even enhanced cavity risk are just a few possibilities.
