Some medications can lead to dry mouth, a condition that puts you at risk for cavities due to the lack of saliva necessary to wash away food and bacteria. To fight dry mouth, drink lots of water throughout the day and avoid alcoholic, caffeinated, and sugary drinks. Chew sugarless gum or mints to increase saliva flow. If this doesn’t help, talk to your dentist or physician about saliva substitutes.

Health conditions, such as diabetes and vitamin imbalances, among others, show symptoms in the mouth. Likewise, diseases of the mouth—mostly gum disease—may be linked to pneumonia, diabetes, heart disease, and stroke, among others. A dentist can tell a lot about your overall health by how your mouth looks. That’s why it’s important to continue to visit your dentist at least twice per year.
