Without saliva, the mouth can't defend itself.
Saliva washes away food, neutralises acid and helps prevent decay. When salivary flow drops, you'll notice a sticky feeling, bad breath and a higher risk of cavities and gum issues.
Our team can identify what's causing your dry mouth — from medication to mouth-breathing — and recommend the right products and treatments to settle it.
Easy to spot once you know what to look for.
