Dry mouth

Having problems producing saliva? Time to find out the cause.

We all know for great health it’s important to stay hydrated. Sometimes, no matter how much water we drink a dry mouth can persist. When a dry mouth doesn’t go away, this could mean that you may have a problem with producing saliva. This can cause a dry, sticky feeling in your mouth.

It is important to listen to your oral health and when something isn’t quite right, talk to your dentist so we can identify the cause and prevent leading to more serious dental issues.

The most common symptoms include;

There are a few different reasons why you may experience a dry mouth, these can include:

WOW! What an awesome and professional, warm welcoming and skilled Dentist, I can't be any happier as I had my braces done with this practice and they were amazing as the dentist have clear understanding and much insight of whatever he does. Great job done!

Thank you Alex and your team, I found you to be a professional and perfectionist. I have had a very good experience from front staff whom make you feel so comfortable to Alex, Julia and the rest of his team, everyone is really friendly, soft music playing in the background, which is so relaxing. Very welcoming and friendly environment. My sister found Confident Smile (in Shepperton) on Groupon and recommended them to me. She was very satisfied with the treatment she had and her lovely straight teeth. I would highly recommend Confident Smile, whether it’s an implant or in general. I feel I can genuinely say, you won’t be disappointed.

Thank You Olga for fixing my crooked teeth, all my friends have told me it is a great improvement. Surprisingly I feel so much more confident now, should of came to you years ago.

I am more than satisfied with the service. In fact I wish I had found the practise years ago, as I had conflicting earlier dental advise and unnecessary treatment elsewhere, which was sorted-out to my benefit at Confident Smile.
