Dry Mouth Isn’t Just Annoying. Let’s Talk Solutions for Seniors

Persistent dry mouth is a silent threat to dental health, especially for seniors. Saliva is nature’s defense—it neutralizes acid and cleanses teeth. Without it, risks rise sharply.

�� Major Dental Risks:

Severe Tooth Decay: Increased cavities, especially around gums and fillings.

Gum Disease: More plaque buildup leads to inflammation and infection.

Oral Discomfort: Higher risk of infections like thrush and problems with dentures.

Main Cause: Often a side effect of common medications, along with aging or certain health conditions.
