Does your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth? Do you get a cotton wool sensation in your mouth? Maybe a burning or acidic taste? Does your tongue feel furry, like a sponge, or rough like sandpaper?
If you are nodding along to any of these, there is a good chance you are suffering from a dry mouth.
Saliva is an incredible substance, and one we can easily take for granted… until it is gone. The causes are often related to medication or the treatment of certain conditions, but the results are the same – a dry mouth. It’s easy to think a dry mouth is no ‘big deal’, but it’s often an unpleasant condition for sufferers and can have significant impacts on oral health and quality of life, yet it is rarely talked about by healthcare professionals or those who suffer.
Does this sound like you?
