At Pasquale J. Malpeso, DMD, PC, we understand that dry mouth is more than a minor inconvenience. Also known as xerostomia, this condition can lead to difficulty speaking, swallowing, eating and even sleeping. Our dentist and team offer professional dry mouth treatment to help restore comfort, protect your oral health and improve daily function.
Dry mouth occurs when the salivary glands do not produce enough saliva. This may be the result of medication side effects, certain medical conditions, aging or lifestyle factors. Our office works to identify the root cause and deliver targeted solutions that support moisture balance and long-term relief.
What to Expect During Treatment
Treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation, including a review of your medical history and a thorough oral exam. Our dentist will assess the condition of your soft tissues, teeth and salivary function to determine the severity and likely cause of your symptoms.
Depending on the underlying issue, treatment may involve recommendations for hydration, dietary adjustments or medication review. In some cases, we may suggest in-office options or prescribe products designed to stimulate saliva flow or protect the oral tissues.
We also provide education on oral hygiene practices that can reduce the risk of complications from dry mouth. This includes using specific rinses, fluoride products and scheduling regular checkups to monitor changes. Our goal is to ease symptoms while preventing the long-term effects of chronic dryness, such as tooth decay and gum irritation.
A Comprehensive Approach to Relief
Effective dry mouth treatment focuses on more than symptom management. Our dentist and team emphasize preventive care and whole-patient support. We recognize the importance of saliva in maintaining oral balance and take a proactive approach to keeping your mouth healthy and comfortable.
