Dry mouth, also called xerostomia (ZEER-oh-STOH-mee-ah), is the condition of not having enough saliva, or spit, to keep the mouth wet. Dry mouth can happen to anyone occasionallyâfor example, when nervous or stressed. However, when dry mouth persists, it can make chewing, eating, swallowing and even talking difficult.
However, in cases where inflammation or bleeding is present and the depth is above 4 mm, pockets begin to form as the bacteria make the gum tissue to pull away from the tooth. Deep cleaning is often dreaded and with a comprehensive dental process, a little apprehensive is understandable.
