dry mouth
Dry mouth, medically known as xerostomia, is a condition characterized by a decreased production of saliva, leading to an unusually dry feeling in the mouth. It can result in difficulties in tasting, chewing, swallowing, and speaking. Constant dry mouth may increase the risk of infections and tooth decay due to the essential role saliva plays in maintaining oral health. It can be caused by various factors including medication side effects, certain medical conditions, aging, and habits like smoking or alcohol consumption.
