Dry Mouth (Xerostomia) Treatment in Bangalore
Dry mouth isn't just uncomfortable — reduced saliva raises your risk of cavities, gum disease, and mouth sores. At Implant Square in Bellandur, Bangalore, Dr. Agarwal and Team identify why your mouth is dry and recommend saliva substitutes, preventive care, and lifestyle changes to protect your oral health.
What Is Dry Mouth?
Dry mouth (xerostomia) is the persistent feeling that your mouth lacks enough saliva. Saliva washes away food, neutralises acids, and protects teeth and gums. Without it, you may notice sticky dryness, cracked lips, difficulty swallowing dry foods, bad breath, or a burning tongue. Causes range from medications and dehydration to diabetes, Sjögren's syndrome, radiation therapy, and mouth breathing.
At Implant Square in Ecoworld, Bellandur, Bangalore, Dr. Agarwal and Team evaluate dry mouth in the context of your gum health, medication list, and cavity risk. We prescribe saliva stimulants or substitutes, optimise fluoride protection, treat associated gum inflammation, and coordinate with your physician when systemic disease or drug side effects are suspected.
