Xerostomia or Dry Mouth
Dry mouth is a common problem that may affect both your enjoyment of food and the health of your teeth. A result of reduced or no saliva, dry mouth can lead to problems because saliva helps prevent tooth decay by limiting bacterial growth and washing away food particles. Saliva also enhances your ability to taste and makes it easier to swallow.
In addition, enzymes in saliva aid in digestion.
