Xerostomia, or a feeling of a dry mouth, is a common condition affecting just over a quarter of the population. A reduction in salivary flow can have a significant functional impact on patients. This paper reviews the most common causes of a dry mouth, the role of saliva in normal function, as well as the actions that can be taken by the primary dental care team to help support oral function.
