“Why do I have dry mouth and cheeks?”

Hello there!!

Dry mouth can be caused by a lot of things, from aging to medications. Talk to your dentist about it and he/she will educate you further and give you your management options.
All the best!!

Could be from your medications if you are taking any. Drink lots of water and consult your doc.

Common cause of dry mouth coming from "taking certain medication and mouth breathing". Consult with your physician and dentist.

Dry mouth is a real problem. Saliva lubricates the mouth to make chewing food easier, it neutralizes acids in the foods you eat, and it replaces minerals in your teeth when acid damages them. Many of my adult patients have to take antihistamines, blood pressure medication, or diabetic medications. All of these meds can cause dry mouth. It can also be caused by diseases in your body. If you are not taking meds that may have dry mouth as a side effect, then check with your physician. Please reduce or eliminate acidic beverages (sodas, energy
drinks, etc.) just check the labels for acids. and use an ADA approved Fluoride toothpaste. Your dentist can prescribe a stronger one of those, if decay has been occurring.

Some medicines can make mouth dry
