Can Bad Teeth Cause Dry Mouth?

One of the most common risk factors of dry mouth is dental erosion, which occurs when acidic substances wear away tooth enamel. As saliva production decreases, teeth are less protected from decay-causing bacteria.

Can a dentist help with dry mouth?

Your dental team won't be able to help with the cause of dry mouth. But by helping you keep your mouth clean and by using fluoride they can, in many cases, help to delay the start of tooth decay. Your dental team will be able to give you advice about your diet and tell you how to care for your teeth and gums properly.
