Dry mouth and ulcers

Dry mouth is a condition in which the salivary glands of our mouth don’t develop enough saliva to moisten it. Sometime it is caused due to side effect of a medicine we are using. The decreased amount of saliva leads to a dry mouth and makes you more susceptible to mouth sores, ulcers, tooth decay and gum diseases.

A mouth ulcer an erosion of a part of delicate lining of your inside mouth tissues. Injury of the mouth tissues like accidental biting of inside cheek may cause mouth ulcers.
