For those with chronic dry mouth (that feeling that there is not
enough saliva in the mouth), they know it's more than a nuisance. The
salivary glands are not working properly. Not only does it affect
chewing, swallowing, enjoying certain foods, digestion and even speech,
it also affects teeth.
Dry mouth (xerostomia) can cause cavities.
Most people may experience dry mouth from time to time if they are
nervous or under stress. However, dry mouth that is persistent is not
normal, it is not part of aging and it is not good. The saliva in the
mouth washes away food particles and acts as a neutralizer for the acids
in the mouth that cause decay of tooth enamel. Without the necessary
saliva, the propensity for teeth to get cavities is greater. Without
saliva, the mouth is more prone to bacterial and fungal infections.
Saliva also is important for re-mineralization of enamel and contains
digestive enzymes.
Symptoms of xerostomia include a sticky, dry or
burning feeling in the mouth. The throat may also feel dry and one has a
feeling of being thirsty. Lips may crack and the tongue may feel dry
and rough. Sometimes the person may have trouble chewing, swallowing,
tasting or even speaking. There may be an infection in the mouth or
mouth sores. And bad breath is prevalent.
Causes of xerostomia are
most often from breathing through your mouth while sleeping or side
effects of some medication. Other possibilities for these salivary
glands not working properly are from diseases such as HIV/AIDS or
diabetes, radiation therapy, chemotherapy or nerve damage. Smoking,
chewing tobacco and consuming alcohol can also cause dry mouth.
There
are a variety of treatments for xerostomia depending on the cause. If
one sleeps on their back there are devices to help keep the mouth
closed. They include a chin strap and an oral vestibular shield that
prevents the mouth from opening. However, consciously flipping on the
stomach or side may be all that is needed. A nightshirt with a tennis
ball in a sock pinned on the back can even help.
If a person is on
one of the 400 medications that can have dry mouth as a side effect,
they should see a physician for possibly changing or adjusting the
dosage of the meds. Some examples of commonly prescribed drugs that can
cause dry mouth are those for high blood pressure, depression,
allergies, acne, diarrhea, obesity and asthma.
A person with dry
mouth can also improve their saliva flow by frequently sipping on water,
sucking on sugar-free candy containing xylitol, using a room humidifier
- especially in the bedroom, and purchasing over-the-counter artificial
saliva products. A dentist can prescribe an oral rinse that often
helps. In some cases, there are medications that are used to get
salivary glands working properly again.
Since tooth decay is
exacerbated with dry mouth, it is imperative to keep the teeth clean.
Home dental cleaning at least twice a day is necessary. Avoiding sugar
or high carbohydrates helps. Professional cleanings every three months
are recommended. So, dry mouth is more than just a nuisance. It can be a
pain in the tooth.
ReplyDeleteIt took almost one year for my first real outbreak but it was the hardest thing in the world to get along with. I felt so unwanted and dirty. I tried many formulas, suggestions, methods to get rid of it permanently. Booked appointment with many doctors, professionals, even religiously until I started getting away spiritually and still it won't go. The worst is my outbreaks occurs within short period and take as long as even weeks to go away. I was at last placed on antiviral treatment which is a good treatment but for how long? I prayed every four times a day for God to cure me miraculously or direct me to cure because I know there is. During outbreaks I thought it's the end of the world but it's not, with time I will become normal again. I started trying fruits and herbs, take herbal produced, and with time became very interested in herbs. I read blogs, websites, and comments on herbs and built a stronger hope. I saw comments and decided to try Dr Utu African Traditional Herbal meds. I know of one mr Brown who was HIV and now brags he was cured of HIV with Dr Utu traditional meds but never give it a thought because I believed HIV already has a cure and never think it through or make a research. And for herpes my doctor told me that there is no known cure. When I saw testimonies of his Herpes cure on sites. I copied his contact drutuherbalcure@gmail.com. I showed it to brown who confirmed it was Dr Utu contact. I contacted him immediately and he also prepared and sent me herbal herpes meds through DHL. Right after getting this traditional meds I followed the prescription cautiously and withing days I started noticing rapid change and I know within me it's the cure. I used it for up to two weeks and when my test result was out not only did this herbal meds cure me but boost my immune and I feel real and free. Dr Utu African Traditional meds have successfully cured Herpes, Warts, HIV, Cancers, Kidney Stone, Asthma, most importantly this traditional meds boost immune and have no after effect.
“I read these posts and wished to share my knowledge using natural herbal medicine and a lifestyle change.
ReplyDeleteAs an ICU nurse with an amazing 38years old career, I know what a medical miracle is. For no reason, I have never liked herbal medicines until I witnessed a confirmed HIV positive patient test result reversed to HIV negative after conducting more tests on him which all came back HIV negative.
Back then many experts who saw the test results gave different suggestions to their best understanding and why it was possible or impossible. But to me, it was nothing more than a medical miracle.
I scrutinized him and found out he has been cured with herbal medicine which a physician have prepared for him.
I also suffered from GENITAL HERPES back then which was the primary reason that has made me remain single and my biggest secret that has made me understand life in the best way I should.
Through this abovementioned person who had been cured of HIV, I contacted this physician who permanently cured me GENITAL HERPES with herbal medicine and also cured a PSORIASIS patient with herbal medicine through me, and in all these tribulations and recovery phases, we conquered.
The good news is that this physician is available on:

My name is Olisa Blessing, I am so happy. I never think I will be this pleased again in life. I have worked as an air hostess ( cabin crew ) for 3years but early this year, I lost my job because of this deadly disease called Herpes virus (HSV).
ReplyDeleteI never felt sick or notice any symptoms. Not until the day all workers were asked to bring their current doctor's report card, that was how I got tested and I found out that I'm HSV positive and that made me lose my job because it was considered as an STD and is an incurable disease.
I was so depressed to the extent that I started thinking of suicide. I explained my situation to an older friend of mine, who often said to me 'a problem shared is a problem half solved.
She felt so pity for me that she referred Dr. Utu Herbal Cure to me, that was how I contacted Dr. Utu and got the herbal medication from him and was permanently cured for real.
I went back to my work a month later with a HERPES NEGATIVE test result. They were astonished and curious when they saw my HSV NEGATIVE result so they carried out another test on me in the company lab to be very sure and they found out I am indeed a HERPES VIRUS FREED PERSON.
Finally, the initial HERPES POSITIVE result was replaced with a new HERPES NEGATIVE test result, and my position was given back to me with an apology letter and a salary increase.
Beware of impersonators,
Dr. Utu can only be reached at:
