| '''Xerostomia''' is the medical term for a '''dry mouth''' due to a lack of [[saliva]]. Xerostomia is sometimes colloquially called pasties or cottonmouth.
| |
| | |
| Xerostomia can cause difficulty in [[Speech communication|speech]] and [[eating]]. It also leads to [[halitosis]] and a dramatic rise in the number of [[Dental caries|cavities]], as the protective effect of saliva is no longer present, and can make the [[mucosa]] of the mouth more vulnerable to infection. Notably, a symptom of [[methamphetamine]] abuse usually called "[[meth mouth]]" is largely caused by xerostomia.
| |
| | |
| ==Causes==
| |
| It may be a [[sign (medical)|sign]] of an underlying [[disease]], such as [[Sjögren's syndrome]], poorly controlled [[diabetes]], or [[Eaton-Lambert syndrome]], but this is not always so.
| |
| | |
| Other causes of insufficient saliva include [[anxiety]], [[medication]]s, or [[alcohol]], [[Physical trauma|trauma]] to the [[salivary gland]]s or their ducts or nerves, [[dehydration]], excessive mouth breathing, previous [[radiation]] therapy, and also a natural result of aging. The vast majority of elderly individuals will suffer xerostomia to some degree. Playing or exercising a long time outside on a hot day will often cause your saliva glands to simply dry up as your bodily fluids are concentrated elsewhere. Drugs have also been known to cause this problem, such as [[Cannabis (drug)|cannabis]], and [[DXM]].

| ==Treatment==
| |
| | |
| Treatment involves finding any correctable causes and fixing those if possible. In many cases it is not possible to correct the xerostomia itself, and treatment focuses on relieving the symptoms and preventing cavities. Patients who have endured chemotherapy usually suffer from this post- treatment.
| |
| | |
| Patients with xerostomia should avoid the use of [[decongestant]]s and [[antihistamine]]s, and pay careful attention to [[oral hygiene]]. Sipping [[sugar]]less fluids frequently, chewing [[xylitol]]-containing gum<ref>Jensen JL, Langberg CW (1997): Temporary hyposalivation induced by radiation therapy in a child. Tidsskr Nor Loegeforen 21:3077-9</ref>, and using a [[carboxymethyl cellulose]] saliva substitute as a [[mouthwash]] may help. Aquoral may be prescribed to treat xerostomia. Non-systemic relief can be found using an oxidized glycerol triesters treatment used to coat the mouth.
