Xerostomia (dry mouth) - At Klement Dental Excellence We Can Help
Dry
mouth problem is common in the St Petersburg area.
The lack of adequate saliva is more than bothersome for three out of
every ten Americans.
When the natural flow of saliva is reduced, you can experience
trouble swallowing, pain throughout oral tissues and, nearly always,
a short-cut to dental caries and gum disease. The tongue sticks,
food doesn't have much taste, and digestion suffers. (For more
details call us at (727) 498-1942.)
Dr. Klement knows that Xerostomia, or dry mouth syndrome, can
come with aging, or often as a side effect of many medications.
Half of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy experience an
extreme form of xerostomia, with critical effects on their dental
health.

treatment, please call our office at (727) 498-1942.
