Dry mouth syndrome
About one in every four Australians has dry mouth syndrome, which is when there is not enough
saliva (spit) in the mouth. A dry mouth is a symptom of an underlying problem, rather than a
disease in itself.
Various factors can cause a persistently dry mouth, including prescription medications, medical
treatments and certain autoimmune diseases such as Sjogren’s syndrome. Treatment includes
products that help to moisten the mouth. Dry mouth syndrome is also called xerostomia.
