reduce saliva production or change how saliva feels. Dry mouth is a common side effect of many medication groups, including some medicines for blood pressure, depression, anxiety, allergies, pain, sleep, bladder problems and other conditions. Reduced saliva can increase the risk of cavities, bad breath, burning mouth, sore tissues and difficulty chewing or swallowing.<\/p>\n      <\/section>\n\n      <section>\n        <h2>Why saliva is protective<\/h2>\n        <p>Saliva helps wash away food, neutralize acids, support enamel repair and keep oral tissues comfortable. When saliva is reduced, teeth are exposed to acids and plaque for longer.<\/p>\n        <p>Medication-related dry mouth should be taken seriously because it can quickly increase decay risk, especially around old fillings, crowns and exposed roots.<\/p>\n      <\/section>\n      <section>\n        <h2>Medication-related dry mouth effects<\/h2>\n        <table>\n          <caption>This table explains why dry mouth matters for dental health.<\/caption>\n          <thead>\n            <tr>\n              <th scope=\"col\">Effect<\/th>\n              <th scope=\"col\">Why it happens<\/th>\n              <th scope=\"col\">Possible response<\/th>\n            <\/tr>\n          <\/thead>\n          <tbody>\n            <tr>\n              <td>More cavities<\/td>\n              <td>Less saliva means less buffering and mineral repair.<\/td>\n              <td>Fluoride and frequent risk-based check-ups.<\/td>\n            <\/tr>\n            <tr>\n              <td>Bad breath<\/td>\n              <td>Bacteria and debris are not rinsed away as well.<\/td>\n              <td>Tongue cleaning, hydration and diagnosis.<\/td>\n            <\/tr>\n            <tr>\n              <td>Burning or soreness<\/td>\n              <td>Dry tissues become more sensitive.<\/td>\n              <td>Saliva substitutes or medical review.<\/td>\n            <\/tr>\n            <tr>\n              <td>Difficulty with dentures<\/td>\n              <td>Dry tissues reduce comfort and retention.<\/td>\n              <td>Denture adjustment and saliva support.<\/td>\n            <\/tr>\n            <tr>\n              <td>Root decay<\/td>\n              <td>Exposed root surfaces are vulnerable.<\/td>\n              <td>Fluoride and careful cleaning.<\/td>\n            <\/tr>\n          <\/tbody>\n        <\/table>\n      <\/section>\n      <section>\n        <h2>What should you do?<\/h2>\n        <ul>\n          <li>Do not stop prescribed medicine without medical advice.<\/li>\n          <li>Tell your dentist which medicines you take.<\/li>\n          <li>Sip water regularly.<\/li>\n          <li>Use fluoride toothpaste twice daily.<\/li>\n          <li>Ask about extra fluoride if cavities are a risk.<\/li>\n          <li>Avoid frequent sugary or acidic drinks.<\/li>\n          <li>Use sugar-free gum or lozenges if suitable.<\/li>\n          <li>Ask your doctor if medication adjustment is possible when dryness is severe.<\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n      <\/section>\n      <section>\n        <h2>What happens at Gloss &#038; Floss Dental Care\u00ae?<\/h2>\n        <p>At Gloss &#038; Floss Dental Care\u00ae in Stockholm, we review dry-mouth symptoms, medications, cavities, gum health, oral tissues and saliva-related risk.<\/p>\n        <p>We may recommend fluoride support, saliva substitutes, hygiene adjustments, more frequent recalls or communication with your medical provider when appropriate.<\/p>\n      <\/section>\n      <section>\n        <h2>When should dry mouth be checked?<\/h2>\n        <p>Book care if dry mouth is daily, wakes you at night, causes new cavities, bad breath, burning mouth, mouth sores or difficulty eating dry foods.<\/p>\n        <div class=\"gf-note-box\">\n          <p><strong>Safety note:<\/strong> Never stop or change prescribed medication on your own.
