9.Other Ailments
Dry mouth is associated with a plethora of additional potential maladies. These include seemingly unrelated phenomena, such as Alzheimer’s disease! In addition to iron deficiency anemia, cystic fibrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, measles, and stroke…
In addition, there are additional conditions, such as vitamin deficiencies. All of this may have you concerned that there is something seriously wrong with your health that requires immediate attention. The good news is that it is extremely unlikely that a dry mouth is caused by a severe condition. In some cases, it may be, but it’s far more likely to be caused by dehydration, medication, or any of the other much milder causes that we’ve discussed so far.
Therefore, neither panic nor presume the worst. Nevertheless, it wouldn’t harm to get a checkup just to be on the safe side!
