Dry Mouth from Drugs

"You're taking over-the-counter medications or prescription drugs that may be helping to dry your mouth out," said Wade. "That can be a side effect of those drugs, like allergy medications, treatments for acid-reflux, even stress hormones and anxiety play a part."
And, that lack of saliva leaves your teeth open to bacteria.
To try to stop the aggressive decay, Wade is now advocating fluoride treatments for all her adult patients. Plus, using prescription strength toothpaste at home for the most vulnerable.

Better to stop taking the drugs.
