Why Dry Mouth Is More Common in Winter
Cold weather and indoor heating can reduce saliva production, leading to dry mouth. At Marinaside Dental, we help patients manage this common winter concern before it affects their oral health.
Why Saliva Matters
Saliva helps wash away food particles, neutralize acids, and protect teeth from decay. Reduced saliva increases the risk of cavities, gum disease, and bad breath.
Tips to Manage Dry Mouth
- Drink water frequently throughout the day
- Use sugar-free gum to stimulate saliva
- Avoid alcohol and caffeine
- Consider a humidifier at home
When to Talk to Your Dentist
Persistent dry mouth may be related to medications or underlying conditions. Our team can recommend treatments to restore comfort and protect your teeth.
