Keep Bacteria Under Control With Dry Mouth Treatment

As part of our general dentistry care, we can recommend treatment like Tooth & Gums Tonic. This is an antibacterial rinse created by dentists. Its all-natural ingredients and essential oils have helped countless patients alleviate the symptoms of dry mouth.

Dry mouth is more common as you get older. It can have a variety of causes, including:

  • The natural aging process
  • Medications
  • Medical treatments (including radiation and chemotherapy)
  • Nerve damage that reduces the production of the salivary glands

The bacteria that cause cavities and periodontal disease thrive in dry places. Plaque is the sticky film bacteria create. Bacteria use sugars and starches in the foods you eat as fuel to create acids that harm your tooth enamel. Your saliva is like a weapon in your ongoing fight to keep this harmful bacteria and plaque from accumulating on your teeth. Saliva makes it easier to rinse plaque and food particles off your teeth. Tooth & Gums Tonic can help do the same for you.

Maintain Your Oral Health For Greater Comfort

Treating dry mouth is only part of what keeps your mouth as healthy as it can be. Be sure to continue drinking water, brushing and flossing daily, and getting regular professional dental cleanings and exams. Dr. Miller can also provide fluoride treatments and dental sealants to protect against cavities.

To treat dry mouth in Murrells Inlet, SC, our team is here for you. Call 843-491-5353 to make an appointment at The Smile Center. You can also schedule online.

Common Questions About Dry Mouth

What does dry mouth mean?

If you have a chronic dry mouth, there could be a number of causes for this condition. It could be as a result of a medication you're taking, lack of sufficient saliva production, or a disease such as diabetes. Radiation treatment for cancer can also cause a dry mouth. We'll get to the root cause of your problem before any recommendations are made.

How can you treat dry mouth at home?

One of the simplest and best ways to treat dry mouth at home is simply to drink more water. Often, dehydration plays a role in chronic dry mouth. We may also recommend specialty products you can use at home. For example, Tooth & Gums Tonic is an excellent antibacterial rinse that is also all-natural.

Can dry mouth cause bad breath?

Unfortunately, a dry mouth can cause bad breath. To alleviate these symptoms, you can chew sugarless gum or mints, or try an alcohol-free mouthwash. We'll work with you to get to the cause of your problem so it can be successfully treated. Our team will help you avoid a dry mouth and bad breath and the awkward social encounters these conditions can cause.
