Dry Mouth (Xerostomia) Treatment in Vellore

Dry Mouth (Xerostomia) usually indicates an underlying dental problem that requires treatment. Home remedies may relieve pain briefly, but only a dentist can address the root cause to prevent future flare-ups.

Over-the-counter pain relievers may help until you see a dentist. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums—it can cause tissue burns. Always follow dosage advice from your healthcare provider.

Modern dentistry prioritises comfort. Local anaesthesia, sedation options, and minimally invasive techniques ensure the procedure is virtually painless. Mild tenderness afterward is normal and manageable.

Dry Mouth (Xerostomia) can radiate to neighbouring nerves, causing headaches, ear discomfort, or neck pain. If symptoms persist for over 48 hours, book an appointment for an accurate diagnosis.

Most patients feel relief within a day or two. Your dentist will share personalised aftercare tips and schedule follow-ups to confirm healing and prevent recurrence.

Sipping water helps, but it doesn't cure the underlying cause. We recommend saliva substitutes and addressing the root issue.
