How do I know if I have dry mouth?

Dry mouth, also medically known as xerostomia, is the condition of not having enough saliva, or spit, to keep your mouth wet. There are many ways to keep dry mouth at bay, including:

Brushing your teeth after every meal with a fluoride toothpaste
Flossing every day after a meal
Avoiding tobacco, as well as drinks containing alcohol or caffeine
Avoiding dry foods, as well as foods containing high salt, acid, spice, or sugar levels
Drinking water frequently or sucking on ice chips
Using a humidifier at night

Please call our convenient Freehold, Manalapan or Hightstown, NJ dental office to learn more about dry mouth, or ask us during your next visit!
