        abstract = {Xerostomia, or dry mouth, is more than just an annoying dryness; it’s a condition that can seriously affect daily life. Often caused by medications, radiation therapy to the head and neck, or conditions like Sjögren’s syndrome, dry mouth can lead to a host of problems—think cavities, oral infections, and even trouble with speaking, chewing, or swallowing. These issues can make everyday activities challenging and diminish overall quality of life.
This paper takes a closer look at the various causes of xerostomia, from health conditions and medication side effects to lifestyle factors. It also emphasizes the importance of proper diagnosis and treatment. By focusing on the vital role that dental and health care professionals play, the paper calls for tailored treatment plans that not only manage the symptoms but also help patients live more comfortably with this often-overlooked condition.},
