THINK YOU HAVE A DRY MOUTH? YOUR DOCTOR CAN HELP
Speak to your pharmacist, doctor or dentist about a dry mouth to identify ways to help you.
What are the signs and causes of a dry mouth?
When you speak to your doctor or dentist and explain what you’re experiencing, they’ll examine you and ask you questions like:
- Does your mouth feel dry when eating?
- Do you have to sip liquids when eating dry foods?
- Do you feel there isn’t enough saliva in your mouth?
Your doctor will perform a
routine examination
To determine if you have a dry mouth, your doctor or dentist will likely conduct a routine exam. Here are some things they may do:
- Review your medications, both over-the-counter
and prescription medications.
- Inspect your lips, tongue, and mouth for
dryness and cracking.
- Review your medical history because
a dry mouth can be triggered by a variety
of different diseases or conditions.
- Check your teeth for decay. Without enough
saliva, harmful germs that cause cavities are
more prevalent.
