Scleroderma & Dry Mouth

As many as 70% of Scleroderma
patients will show symptoms of
Dry Mouth

Scleroderma, an autoimmune condition that occurs when
your body produces too much collagen, can lead to Dry Mouth.

Women with Scleroderma
experience
Dry Mouth more
than men

If you have Scleroderma, your salivary glands can become
damaged. This may cause your saliva production to drop,
resulting in Dry Mouth. Female Scleroderma patients
outnumber male patients 4 to 1.
