Dry Mouth or Xerostomia If you experience a persistent sensation of dry mouth accompanied by constant thirst, you are likely suffering from xerostomia. Beyond the discomfort, insufficient or absent saliva can lead to serious complications. What You Need to Know Saliva has natural antibacterial properties. Its lack can quickly cause: - Dental caries, - Mouth ulcers, - Alteration of taste, - Bad breath, - Difficulties chewing, swallowing, or speaking. In severe cases, fungal infections can even invade the oral cavity. Causes Many factors can contribute to this condition: - Medications: Certain treatments such as tranquilizers, neuroleptics, antidepressants, antiallergics, antihistamines, anti-motion sickness drugs, antiparkinsonian medications, or those contraindicated in cases of closed-angle glaucoma or urinary retention. - Abuse of coffee and tobacco. - Chronic rheumatism, such as rheumatoid arthritis. - Diabetes. - Radiotherapy for certain cancers (brain, larynx). - A common cold or any nasal obstruction forcing mouth breathing. - Advanced dehydration. - Advanced age (in elderly individuals). What to Avoid Do not extend self-medication beyond one week if it is not effective. Consult your doctor immediately. Good Practices In Prevention - Adopt rigorous dental hygiene. - Chew your food slowly to stimulate saliva production. Avoid consuming too many liquid foods. - Reduce your consumption of tobacco and alcohol. In Case of Dry Mouth - Stop suspect medications after medical advice. - Chew sugar-free gum (to avoid caries), which promotes salivary secretion. - Drink small amounts of water regularly throughout the day. - Suck on small pieces of ice cubes to activate the jaws and salivary glands. - Spray your mouth regularly with mineral or thermal water in spray form (for example, EVIAN® or AVENE®). Medications If these measures are not sufficient and saliva production remains inadequate, consider artificial saliva such as Artisial®. Avoid Sulfarlem 12.5 mg® or Sulfarlem S 25 mg® tablets, as their effect only appears after several days and they contain excipients that can cause notable allergic reactions.
