Xerostomia - Dry mouth
 

Dry mouth problem is common in the Austin area. The lack of adequate saliva is more than bothersome for three out of every ten Americans.

When the natural flow of saliva is reduced, you can experience trouble swallowing, pain throughout oral tissues and, nearly always, a short-cut to dental caries and gum disease. The tongue sticks, food doesn't have much taste, and digestion suffers.  (For more details call us at (512) 331-6677.)

Drs. Don & Rebecca Davis know that Xerostomia, or dry mouth syndrome, can come with aging, or often as a side effect of many medications.   Half of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy experience an extreme form of xerostomia, with critical effects on their dental health. At Lake Creek Family Dental Care we can help provide relief by suggesting over-the-counter products such as special toothpaste, gum and a special Saliva substitute for xerostomia.

For more information regarding Xerostomia and methods of treatment, please call our office at (512) 331-6677.
