Xerostomia, or dry mouth, refers to symptoms or sensations of oral dryness that are usually caused due to a decrease in the amount of saliva. This condition is triggered by the adverse effects of radioactivity in the neck and head, increasing consumption of antianxiety drugs, dehydration, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disorder. It can be treated with the support of salivary pens or stimulants, artificial saliva, prescribed medications, and home remedies, including sipping water and moisturizing lips. Apart from this, the early diagnosis of salivary glands by practitioners and the usage of recommended mouth moisturizing products, such as over-the-counter (OTC) rinsing, can assist in lubricating the mouth. These treatments alleviate discomfort, prevent severe complications, fix taste disorders, and mitigate bad breath and taste disorders. Consequently, xerostomia therapeutics are used across several hospitals and clinics to deal with decreased salivary gland function.
