Xerostomia or Dry Mouth, is common to #diabetic#dental patients & anyone who is undergoing #cancer therapy or taking certain types of #medication. Constant dryness irritates soft tissue in the #mouth, leading to #tooth decay and #periodontal disease.
One of the risks associated with #dental work and #diabetes is bacterial colonization. Saliva helps wash away food particles and keeps the mouth moist. Dry mouth can lead to bad breath. https://t.co/IzMo7lMfHJ
