Improve Your Dental Health by Treating Your Dry Mouth

From the medication you are using to stress, there are numerous reasons for your dry mouth. Before recommending treatment, Dr. Solis will review your medical history and any other symptoms you are experiencing. He will also perform a thorough exam to identify any underlying problems.

Typically, our team will recommend products you can use at home. For example, special toothpastes and mouth rinses can promote saliva production in your mouth. We will also ensure your mouth has a thorough cleaning. Chronic dry mouth often puts you at greater risk for oral health issues. Keeping your mouth clean is of the utmost importance to avoid cavities and gum disease.

One root cause for dry mouth is often sleep apnea. It’s typically coupled with daytime fatigue, teeth grinding habits, frequent headaches, and snoring. If those symptoms sound familiar, you may be struggling with this common sleep condition. Your dentist can create a sleep guard that will:

  • Gently move your lower jaw slightly forward
  • Keep your airway open while you sleep
  • Prevent the soft tissues in the back of the throat from closing
  • Allow you to sleep normally without waking up gasping for air
