Dry Mouth
A dry mouth occurs when you don’t have enough saliva. A dry mouth is a typical symptom of diabetes and sometimes is the first noticeable symptom of the disease. individuals with diabetes who have high blood sugar levels are more susceptible to infections and heal slower than individuals whose blood sugar levels are within the target range. If left untreated, high blood sugar and dry mouth might cause serious dental complications. Dry mouth is best treated by addressing the underlying cause. If high blood sugar is the reason, you and your healthcare practitioner can work together to monitor and manage it. If a medication causes a dry mouth, consult your healthcare practitioner about discontinuing or changing the medicine, or taking lower amounts.
