What is Dry Mouth Relief?
A dry mouth is a discomfiting, irritating, and debilitating condition. It can make speaking difficult or even impossible in some cases. Due to the lack of saliva production, the dry mouth develops. It’s not usually a sickness; rather, it results from various factors such as drug side effects, negative effects of radiation exposure to the neck and head, cigarette smoking, and mouth bleeding. When the saliva glands are still functioning, salivary stimulants increase saliva flow. Artificial saliva or saliva replacements replenish wetness and lubricate the mouth. Dry Mouth Relief helps you retain moisture in the saliva glands for a longer time so that oral tissues remain moisturized, which reduces the dryness of your mouth. Lozenges, gel, mouthwash, and spray are various solutions that provide relief from dry mouth.
