Dry mouth is one of the most damaging risk factors for oral health.  Saliva is one the biggest protectors of teeth.  Patients with decreased salivary flow due to hormonal issues, poor health, stress, medications, radiation treatments, or salivary disorders are at a high risk for dental issues. Xylitol Products such as Spry and Xylimelts (see above links) are very helpful for stimulating salivary flow and protecting teeth. Patients experiencing dry mouth due to medications may also want to consult with their physician and research any alternative ways to treat your health condition other than medications.
