What else can be done

After a detailed medical history (questioning the patient about their state of health, medication, general illnesses, course of symptoms, etc.) and a thorough examination of the patient with a particular focus on the oral cavity and salivary glands, the stimulated salivary flow rate is usually determined. If the suspicion is confirmed, further examinations such as laboratory diagnostics, blood tests, sonography (ultrasound examination) of the salivary glands, endoscopic examinations of the salivary ducts, X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging, scintigraphy, if necessary with contrast medium, can be carried out to narrow down the cause. In rare cases, a sample is taken from the salivary gland (biopsy). In addition, an interdisciplinary diagnosis or therapy may be necessary, involving hormone specialists, endocrinologists, rheumatologists or psychologists.

Saliva substitutes are often the last resort in very severe cases of dry mouth in order to form a film on the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat and thus facilitate speaking, eating and swallowing

.

Living with dry mouth

Saliva substitutes consist of sodium carboxymethylcellulose (Na-CMC), carboxyethylcellulose (CEC), hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC), animal mucin, linseed oil, sorbitol or polyethylene oxide (PEO), among others. Enzymes and substances to adjust the pH value and viscosity are also added to many saliva substitutes. To prevent caries in dentate patients, pH-neutral saliva substitutes that contain fluoride and are supersaturated with calcium and phosphate should be recommended wherever possible. Butter and wetting the mucous membranes with edible oils are also helpful. Despite all these substances, no substitute preparation has yet been found that can replace human saliva. Unfortunately, many forms of dry mouth still cannot really be treated in a cause-specific manner and the affected patient has to live with dry mouth.

As the relief of symptoms with the above-mentioned therapeutic approaches is perceived differently from person to person, it is recommended that the affected person tries out different measures to find the best one for them individually

    Home remedy for dry mouth

    The obligatory glass of water on the lectern is said to alleviate the dry mouth of the often excited speaker, facilitate the flow of speech and prevent hoarseness. It also helps to drink enough throughout the day, preferably water or unsweetened tea. In general, food should be chewed thoroughly. Stimulants such as excessive consumption of coffee or alcohol should be avoided and smoking should be reduced or even stopped. Salty, spicy and strongly flavoured foods should also be avoided.

    Particularly in winter, care should be taken to ensure that rooms, especially bedrooms, are sufficiently humidified and regularly ventilated.

    Regularly chewing sugar-free chewing gum (e.g. ApaCare Gum) or lozenges (e.g. Xerodent) stimulates the flow of saliva.

    Tip

    What to do if none of this helps?

    Severe sensitivity to cold can also be the first signs of reversible or even irreversible dental neuritis. In contrast to hypersensitivity reactions, the cold pain in these cases often lasts longer or is accompanied by radiating pain in response to warm stimuli. Night pain often occurs and the painful region begins to radiate. Such symptoms of irreversible dental nerve inflammation should be immediately clarified by a dentist.

    Expert tip
    In case of doubt, if there is no improvement, if the pain increases or if there is pain when warm, a dental examination is recommended at short notice.

    What can you do at home to combat hypersensitivity?

    Special toothpastes for sensitive teeth contain various active ingredients that are intended to dampen hypersensitive nerve reactions. However, this often does not work in the long term. The most effective way to close the causative open dentin tubules is to use tooth repair pastes such as ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste, which are applied after brushing your teeth. In addition or alternatively, the tooth necks or sensitive tooth surfaces can be carefully dabbed dry and treated with ApaCare mineralising dental varnish (brush bottle). This sticks for a few hours to days and often provides immediate and lasting relief. Both ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste and ApaCare tooth varnish contain micro-fine enamel crystals that penetrate deep into the canals, fuse with the tooth and close the original open canals.

    Expert tip
    In severe cases or to intensify the treatment, we recommend using ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste in conjunction with dental splints (ApaCare Repair dental splint), which are best worn overnight (everything you need is included in the ApaCare Sensitive Teeth Kit).

    Expert tip
    Fluoride and liquid enamel!
    We recommend ApaCare dental care products with fluoride and liquid enamel, not least because they are well tolerated and do not contain any controversial additives or preservatives. ApaCare OraLactin also contains probiotic active ingredients that promote oral and general health.

    Expert tip
    Regular use of hyaluronic acid preparations as a mouth spray or rinsing solution 4-6 times a day (ApaCare OraLactin Liquid or Gengigel Spray from the pharmacy) is particularly helpful. The natural hyaluronic acid binds water and moisture to the upper layer of the mucous membrane and keeps it supple.

    Are (dental care) chewing gums useful?

    Chewing gum stimulates the flow of saliva and thus the immune defence in the mouth as well as the remineralisation of the teeth and is therefore highly recommended. However, chewing gum containing sugar should be avoided.

    Incidentally, this effect takes effect after just a few minutes; regular continuous chewing (several times a day for more than 10 minutes) can overstrain the chewing muscles and contribute to temporomandibular joint disorders and muscle pain. Chewing gums that are sweetened exclusively with xylitol (birch sugar) (in large quantities), such as ApaCare Gum Anti-Caries Chewing Gums, are particularly recommended. Used regularly, it can be very effective in preventing tooth decay.

    Expert tip
    Several times a year:
    Xylitol chewing gum cure (30 days each ApaCare Gum).
    Adolescents (from the age of 12) and adults: chew 1 ApaCare Gum chewing gum 3 times a day.
    Children (from the age of 3) up to the age of 12: chew 1 ApaCare Gum chewing gum once a day.

    Other causes of bad breath

    • Disease of the periodontium (periodontitis) and tooth decay (caries)
    • Reduced saliva flow (dry mouth), also in connection with mouth breathing, snoring or taking certain medications such as antihypertensives, antidepressants, etc.
    • Bacterial inflammation of the mouth and throat such as pharyngitis, sinusitis, rhinitis, etc.
    • Very rare: Tumours in the mouth and throat area
    • Lung diseases such as bronchitis

    Expert tip
    Diseases of the digestive tract (oesophagus, stomach, intestines), infections such as Helicobacter pylori, diabetes mellitus or poisoning (phosphorus, arsenic, selenium) are only the cause of unpleasant bad breath in a few exceptional cases.

    #################### File: www-apacare-com-expert-tips-bad-breath-tips-65199-2214.txt Page: 1 Context:

    Particularly recommended: daily cleaning of the interdental spaces

    Interdental spaces and the transition areas to the gums are best cleaned with monobrushes as interchangeable heads on the electric toothbrush (e.g. ApaCare Sonic Inter Polish brushes) and in addition with so-called interdental brushes or dental floss.

    Expert tip
    Tartar in particular can smell bad. Using the ApaCare Sonic Inter Polish brush and special polishing pastes (e.g. ApaCare Polish tooth polishing paste) is a very effective way of preventing tartar.

    Build up oral flora.

    This is the best way to do it.
    All age groups from the age of 6 can benefit from OraLactin.
    OraLactin Probiotics (sachets or chewable pastilles) are particularly recommended before, during or after dental treatment or prophylaxis. Regularly in cases of high susceptibility to tooth decay, inflammation of the gums or implants, periodontitis, generally bad teeth, bad breath or sensitive mucous membranes. Senior citizens can also use probiotics to better prevent oral diseases. If you want to benefit automatically every day, it is best to use a ApaCare OraLactin toothpaste or mouthwash with a probiotic effect: teeth, gums and oral mucosa are optimally protected, remineralised and regenerated. The oral flora is stabilised in a balanced way and bacteria that promote general health and lower blood pressure are particularly supported.

    Expert tip
    Dental care products with OraLactin and probiotic effects expand dental and medical prophylaxis to include general medical prevention aspects and support the stabilisation of healthy oral flora.

    Dry mouth, medically known as xerostomia, often occurs due to reduced saliva production. Causes can include hormonal changes such as those that occur during menopause or the use of certain medications. This leads to symptoms such as dry mucous membranes, difficulty chewing or speaking, and an increased risk of bad breath and tooth decay. The ApaCare OraLactin mouthwash with natural hyaluronic acid binds moisture from the saliva, keeps the mucous membranes supple and ensures long-lasting moisturization. In addition, the ApaCare Gum Anti-Caries Chewing Gum stimulates saliva flow, which provides additional support for the oral mucosa.

    Recommendation

    Rinse regularly with the ApaCare OraLactin Mouthwash to care for the mucous membranes and chew the ApaCare Gum as needed to promote saliva production and relieve discomfort.

    The best toothpaste I've ever had and the one I've been looking for for VERY many years. Gum irritation was gone after 3 brushings.
