Solution
Dry mouth (also called xerostomia) occurs when there is not enough saliva in the mouth. It can occur due to several reasons, such as:
- Not drinking enough water (dehydration).
- Breathing through the mouth.
- Fever or excessive sweating.
- Stress or anxiety.
- Side effects of certain medicines.
- Medical conditions affecting the salivary glands.
Drinking enough water, maintaining good oral hygiene, and treating the underlying cause usually help relieve dry mouth. If it occurs frequently or persists for a long time, it is advisable to consult a doctor or dentist.
