Other causes of dry mouth. Other factors that can cause dry mouth include: Nerve damage around the head or neck. Dehydration. A side effect of medical treatment such as chemotherapy treatments or other treatments that have lead to damage to the salivary glands causing a decrease in the production of saliva.
Inflammation or obstructions of the salivary glands are often associated with dry mouth, as these glands are responsible for the production of saliva in the mouth. Diseases, such as SjÃ¶grenâs syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and diabetes, may also result in a dry mouth. Emotional disorders, such as a panic attack caused by severe anxiety, may cause dry mouth due to the stress or âflight or fightâ response, which reduces saliva production in the mouth.
