Dry mouth, also known as xerostomia, is more than just an uncomfortable feeling. Reduced saliva production may affect speaking, swallowing, taste, oral comfort, and even dental health.

Common symptoms may include:
- Sticky or dry feeling in the mouth
- Dry throat or cracked lips
- Bad breath
- Difficulty swallowing or tasting food
- Irritated or inflamed oral tissues

Dry mouth can be associated with certain medications, autoimmune conditions, aging, or other health concerns. Because saliva plays an important role in protecting the mouth and teeth, ongoing dry mouth may increase the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and oral infections.

If you are struggling with dry mouth symptoms, talk to our pharmacist about ways to help support oral comfort.
