Dry mouth can lead to tooth degradation, cavities, and gum disease.

“once you get zero stoia dry mouth your teeth can degrade so quickly so your saliva is so important and so how do we keep it healthy hydration you know so many of us are dehydrated um I would argue we aren't get enough minerals either so you know I I suggest to some kids I can tell in a child's mouth if they're hydrated or Not by the way their saliva looks if it looks more thick and ropy and mucousy they're dehydrated if it looks like water it's healthy um this is without any tests so put a pinch of salt in in your water or some electrolytes that can really help with bioavailability and absorption how you're breathing is incredibly important too for your salivary health so if you're mouth breathing you will have less saliva you know your mouth's going to dry out the pH will drop um and you're going to be in trouble you know dry mouth leads to cavities dry mouth leads to gum disease”
