Dry Mouth
Frequently Asked Questions
3. What problems can dry mouth
cause?
Dry mouth can cause several problems, including difficulty tasting,
chewing, swallowing, and speaking. Swallowing may be especially
difficult for those with too little saliva. For example, people
with dry mouth may be unable to swallow dry food at all unless they
also drink fluids with food. They also need to take small bites of
food and be very aware of chewing and swallowing so they don't
choke. Dry mouth may also increase your chance of developing dental
decay and infections in the mouth.
