Dry Mouth Diagnosis

How is Dry Mouth diagnosed?

There’s no official test to definitively say whether or not you have
Dry Mouth. But, when you speak to your doctor or dentist and
explain what you’re experiencing, they’ll examine your condition
and ask you questions like:

• Do you have difficulty swallowing?
• Does your mouth feel dry when eating?
• Do you have to sip liquids when
  swallowing dry foods?
• Do you feel there isn’t enough saliva
  in your mouth?

Your doctor will perform a
routine examination

To determine if you have Dry Mouth, your doctor or dentist will
likely conduct a routine exam. Here are some things they may do:

• Review your medications, both over-the-counter
  and prescription medications, including
  antihistamines, decongestants, and diuretics.

• Inspect your lips, tongue, and mouth for
  dryness and cracking.

• Review your medical history because
  Dry Mouth can be triggered by a variety
  of different diseases or conditions.

• Check your teeth for decay. Without enough
  saliva, harmful germs that cause cavities are
  more prevalent.
