Dry Mouth AKA Xerostomia

4/14/2016

17 Comments

 

It’s a common condition that causes your mouth to feel uncomfortably dry. Some people call it “cotton mouth”. It can occur when your body doesn’t produce enough saliva to keep your mouth moist. Saliva is important for your oral health as it maintains oral ph balance and tooth integrity, having anti-microbial properties and protects the mouth’s soft tissue. It also aiding in proper digestion and taste.
                                
If you have dry mouth, you may experience any of these symptoms:


  • Stickiness in the mouth
  • Dryness in the mouth or throat
  • Bad breath
  • Cracked lips, or splits in the skin at the corners of the mouth
  • Soreness in the mouth
  • Raw, sore tongue, or inflammation of the tongue
  • Dry nasal passages
  • Increase in the need to drink when eating and attempting to swallow
  • Changes in the sense of taste 
  • Difficulty wearing dentures or partials


 Causes of Dry Mouth: 


  • Chronic Mouth breathing 
  • Medications used to treat conditions such as high blood pressure,       depression, anxiety, allergies, muscle relaxers, attention deficit disorder, pain, over active bladder and Parkinson’s disease just to name a few. 
  • Medical treatments and procedures such as chemotherapy and radiation to the head and neck.
  • Diseases and health conditions such as diabetes mellitus, Sjogrens syndrome, scleroderma, depression, and anxiety. 
  • Lifestyle contributors, such as alcohol use, smoking, and consuming to much caffeine.   
  • A decrease in the production of saliva due to the natural aging processes
  • Blocked salivary ducts
  • Stress and anxiety


If you suffer from dry mouth, be sure to discuss treatment methods with your dentists at Parkland Pacific Dental. 


Some recommendations for dry mouth, used in our office and available over the counter are:
 
  • Biotene Dry Mouth Oral Rinse, a rinse that can be used up to 5 times per day. 
  • Biotene Oral Balance Gel can be used anytime during the day or night. Extrude a sufficient amount of gel from the tube on the finger or use a cotton swab to   take the gel from the tube and apply up under the lips or on the tongue. 
  • Xylitol products such as Spry Gum and Ice Chips. 
  • Cool air Humidifier at night in your bedroom


Since dry mouth can also cause extensive decay or cavities, we recommend to:


  • Avoid foods with high sugar content, especially candy
  • Create good oral hygiene 
  • Brushing and flossing at least twice daily
  • Drink water throughout the day-most people do not drink enough water and this is a contributor to dry mouth.
  • Use an over-the-counter, fluoride mouth rinse such as Act Restore.


Products we may recommend by prescription for high decay rate due to dry mouth:
  • Colgate PreviDent mouth rinse
  • Clinpro 5000 toothpaste


Dry mouth may not be completely preventable, but steps can be taken to ensure good oral health.


We at Parkland Pacific Dental are always here to help maintain your healthy smiles.

I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again. If you are going through any relationship stress or you want back your Ex or Divorce husband you can contact his whatsapp +2347012841542 or email emutemple@gmail.com website: Https://emutemple.wordpress.com/ Https://web.facebook.com/Emu-Temple-104891335203341

LOVE SPELL TESTIMONY

Thank you so much DOCTOR ODUNGA for making my ex boyfriend come back to me. I am writing this wonderful testimony in respect of this man. He made all my wishes come true. My boyfriend and I dated for more than 3 years and although we had had so many quarrels we never thought of a break up. One day, he called me over the phone telling me how he is tired of the relationship and cannot see anywhere that we are heading to. Months passed and my boyfriend did not contact me anymore and I did not hear from him anymore and his cell phone was disconnected. I knew I needed to seek help because of the love I have for him. I contacted this great spell caster because i have never contacted anyone before and i tell you that after a week of contact, my ex boyfriend called me and asked to see me and the next morning, he wore a ring on my finger. I am very happy because I am soon going to be a married girl with the help of this great spell caster. I promised to manifest your works to everyone and please contact this man to help you

Hello Everyone out there,I am here to give my testimony about a Herbalist doctor who helped me . I was infected with HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS in 2020, i went to many hospitals for cure but there was no solution, so I was thinking how can I get a solution out so that my body can be okay. One day I was in the river side thinking where I can go to get solution. so a lady walked to me telling me why am I so sad and i open up all to her telling her my problem, she told me that she can help me out, she introduce me to a doctor who uses herbal medication to cure HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS and gave me his email, so i mail him. He told me all the things I need to do and also give me instructions to take, which I followed properly. Before I knew what is happening after two weeks the HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS that was in my body got vanished . so if you are also heart broken and also need a help, you can also email him at {oliha.miraclemedicine@gmail.com}

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him
