Complications:

A condition like dry mouth might seem like an insignificant issue. However, if left untreated it could cause the inflammation of tissue in the mouth. In addition, the beneficial effects of saliva are lost. Saliva helps prevent tooth decay and other health problems. The insufficient production makes one more susceptible to related diseases.

Meanwhile, brush and floss twice a day to prevent the build-up of plaque.
