Xerostomia - Dry mouth
 Dry
mouth problem is common in the Hanover area. The lack of adequate saliva is more than
bothersome for three out of every ten Americans.
When the natural flow
of saliva is reduced, you can experience trouble swallowing, pain
throughout oral tissues and, nearly always, a short-cut to dental caries
and gum disease. The tongue sticks, food doesn't have much taste, and
digestion suffers. (For more details call us at (519) 364-1970.)
Dr. Grundy, General Dentist, knows that
Xerostomia, or dry mouth syndrome, can come with aging, or often as a
side effect of many medications. Half of cancer patients undergoing
chemotherapy experience an extreme form of xerostomia, with critical
effects on their dental health. At Hanover Dental Care we can help provide relief in the form of
prescriptions for dry mouth
toothpaste, saliva-producing chewing gum, or saliva substitute
solutions.
For more information regarding Xerostomia
and methods of treatment,
please call our office at (519) 364-1970.
