It is a common problem. Everyone has a dry mouth once in a while - if they are nervous/upset/under stress. Your saliva also naturally decreases at night, which can allow the growth of harmful bacteria & plaque. But if you have dry mouth all, or most of the time, it can be uncomfortable & can lead to health problems. Dry Mouth.. Can cause difficulties in tasting, chewing/swallowing and speaking Can increase your chance of developing dental decay & other infections in the mouth Can be a sign of certain diseases & conditions Can be caused by over 400 medications or medical treatmentsWhy is Saliva so Important?Saliva provides a “first defense” against chemical, mechanical, and infectious attacks; It helps digest food It protects teeth from decay It prevents infection by controlling against an overabundance of bacteria & fungi in the mouth Without enough saliva you can lose your teeth to tooth decay at a young age, or develop other infections in the mouth.

There are several reasons why your salivary glands might not work. Examples: Side effects of medication. More than 400 medications can cause the salivary glands to make less saliva. Disease.
