Xerostomia
Xerostomia is defined as dry mouth resulting from reduced or absent saliva flow. Xerostomia is not a disease, but it may be a symptom of various medical conditions, a side effect of a radiation to the head and neck, or a side effect of a wide variety of medications. It may or may not be associated with decreased salivary gland function. Xerostomia is a common complaint found often among older adults, affecting approximately 20 percent of the elderly. However, xerotomia does not appear to be related to age itself as much as to the potential for elderly to be taking medications that cause xerostomia as a side effect. xerostomia, happens when you don't make enough saliva (spit). Saliva is important for mouth health. A lack of saliva can lead to tooth decay. Dry mouth symptoms include discomfort, sore throat and swallowing problems. Treatment for dry mouth includes steps to increase saliva production.
