Relieve Discomfort From Dry Mouth in Georgetown

You may think dry mouth in Georgetown is no big deal, but we beg to differ! Not only is it uncomfortable, but it creates an environment friendly to the bacteria that cause tooth decay. So, the condition can lead to dental damage.

Our dry mouth treatment will:

  • Allow you to chew and eat more easily
  • Help prevent issues like cracked lips and abrasions inside your mouth
  • Restore a more healthy environment to your mouth so you’re less likely to get cavities
  • Make you more comfortable
  • Help you identify issues, like prescription medications, that may be contributing to your dry mouth problem

Dr. John Miller can suggest lifestyle changes and products that can ease your dry mouth symptoms. Call 843-492-5026 for an appointment with him.

Get Help Here For Your Dry Mouth Symptoms

We recommend an antibacterial mouth rinse called Tooth & Gums Tonic. Created by dentists and formulated with essential oils and all-natural ingredients, it can help alleviate symptoms.

It’s also important not to miss your regular dental exams. Remember, two exams and cleanings a year are included with our membership plan.

Because your mouth is more hospitable to decay-causing bacteria when you have dry mouth, we’ll use technology like DIAGNOdent to find cavities in their early stages. We can also use treatments like fluoride varnish and dental sealants to help protect your teeth against decay.

Fight Tooth Decay & Protect Your Smile

Saliva is a kind of “secret weapon” against the bacteria that cause tooth decay. Bacteria collect in plaque, a sticky film that clings to your teeth. When you eat foods with sugars and starch, they “feed” the bacteria, which then produce acids that eat away at your tooth enamel. Your saliva not only helps wash away remnants of these foods, but it also contains minerals like calcium and phosphate. They help replace the minerals in your enamel that are lost to the damaging acids. So not producing enough saliva is a problem – but one we can help you with.

To relieve discomfort caused by dry mouth in Georgetown, call The Smile Center at 843-492-5026.

Common Questions About Dry Mouth

What does dry mouth mean?

Chronic dry mouth can indicate several things. Dry mouth can be caused by a simple lack of saliva production, certain diseases such as diabetes, or taking certain medications. Once we have determined the cause of your dry mouth, we can advise you on steps to take to alleviate the problem.

How can you treat dry mouth at home?

Depending on the cause of your dry mouth, you can take successful steps to remedy the condition. It may be as simple as drinking more water to keep you well hydrated. We can also recommend specialty products you can use at home to help keep your mouth moist so you feel more comfortable.

Can dry mouth cause bad breath?

Unfortunately, one of the side effects of a dry mouth is bad breath. To help avoid embarrassing and awkward social situations, you’ll want to take steps to fight your dry mouth condition. We encourage you to see your dentist soon so you can get the help you need to feel confident when interacting with others.
