Overview
It refers to a dry state in the mouth when saliva secretion decreases or is no longer secreted.The average amount of saliva secreted by salivary glands is about 1 to 1.5 liters per day, but when saliva secretion decreases due to various causes, the moisture in the mouth decreases and dries.Lack of saliva reduces antimicrobial activity and self-cleaning action of saliva, making it easy to develop tooth decay and periodontal disease, as well as causing bad breath, mucosal infection, taste disorders and dysphagia.The number of patients is on the rise due to side effects of drugs, stress and reduced chewing power.cause
Oral dryness can be caused by a variety of causes, including diseases, side effects of drugs, dehydration, mouth breathing, and stress, and may be involved in combination.Among the causes of the disease are diabetes, thyroid dysfunction, diabetes and Schaglen syndrome.Many of the side effects of drugs include oral dryness, antidepressants, anti-anxiety drugs, antihypertensive drugs, and painkillers.Low intake of water, dehydration or electrolyte abnormalities due to diarrhea or vomiting, and disorder of autonomic nerves due to stress on a daily basis can also cause dry mouth.In the case where radiation is exposed to salivary glands by cancer treatment, the salivary gland tissue is impaired, making it difficult for saliva to come out and causing dry mouth.Ageing itself is not necessarily a cause of dry mouth, and it is thought that age-related systemic diseases and medications can affect saliva secretion.symptom
Dryness can make your mouth sticky, tingling, and make it easier for plaque to build up and make bad breath stronger.Symptoms such as difficulty swallowing low-moisture foods, difficulty speaking out, difficulty tasting, and cracked tongue can also be seen.Further, since the self-cleaning action and antibacterial action in the mouth are weakened, it is easy to contract tooth decay and periodontal disease, and infectious diseases are easily caused.Especially when Candida bacteria, a kind of mold, proliferates, white spots appear in the mouth.examination and diagnosis
It examines the degree of thirst, symptoms, diseases under treatment, medicines taken, dryness in the mouth and inflammation.After that, an examination is performed to measure how much saliva comes out at a predetermined time.The saliva test includes a gum test to measure the amount of saliva produced while chewing gum, and a Saxon test to measure the amount of saliva absorbed by chewing gauze.Another method is to measure the amount of saliva absorbed by placing the watte under the tongue.Moisture of the oral mucosa is measured using a moisture meter.If Schagren′s syndrome is suspected, blood tests, salivary gland imaging tests, salivary tissue tests, and ophthalmologic tests are performed.treatment
In some cases, oral dryness can be alleviated by improving lifestyle habits such as stopping breathing, preventing dehydration, reducing stress, and chewing well.If it is caused by a disease, it is important to proceed with the treatment of the disease itself.If the cause is a side effect of the drug, change the drug if possible, but since many cases cannot be done, symptomatic therapy is the main focus.As a symptomatic treatment, a spray containing moisturizing ingredients is sprayed into the mouth and a moisturizing gel is applied.In addition, when inflammation occurs in the mucous membrane, an anti-inflammatory or bactericidal agent may be prescribed.Only in the case of Schagren′s syndrome and dry mouth caused by radiation, drugs promoting artificial saliva and salivary secretion are covered by insurance.There are other ways to take Chinese medicine continuously.Along with treatment for dry mouth, there are cases where the accompanying caries and candidiasis (a condition in which mold has increased) are needed.precautions after prevention/treatment
We will try to create a habit that makes saliva more likely to come out and take measures against dryness.Eating meals regularly and chewing them thoroughly stimulates saliva secretion.Eating gum to promote saliva secretion is another way, but you need to be careful when eating sugar.If the room is dry, it can cause dry mouth, so it is also important to use a humidifier to prevent the room from drying.People who cannot close their mouths due to the habit of breathing through the mouth use a mask to prevent saliva from evaporating and a spray containing a moisturizer to prevent the mouth from drying.In addition, a slight massage of salivary lines such as the ′parotid gland′ in front of the ear, the jaw, and the ′parotid gland′ and the ′parotid gland′ under the tongue may promote salivary secretion.
