DRY MOUTH
Many factors can involve a reduction of salivary secretion or a modification of its composition. Oral dryness is accompanied by a reduction of natural antibacterial salivary protection with consequences like the development of dental plaque, the increase of tooth decays and irritations of gums.
Risk Factors ▪ Natural result of aging ▪ Medications, radiation therapy or chemotherapy ▪ Salivary glands trauma
Symptoms ▪ Sticky and dry feeling in mouth, under tongue, around lips and in throat ▪ Frequent thirst ▪ Elocution or masticating difficulties and dry nasal cavities
BUCCOTHERM Recommendations Apply a saliva substitute or a moistening solution as BUCCOTHERM Dental spray to: ▪ Coat the mouth ▪ Stimulate salivary glands thanks to a unique composition in mineral salts ▪ Protect teeth and mucous membrane from acid attacks
Remarks ▪ Regularly drinking water, masticating chewing gums or sugar free sweeties permit to favour salivary secretion. Be careful that masticating for long time involves the opposite effect. |
