Signs of dry mouth

It may seem like a no brainer, but there are more signs of dry mouth than what seems obvious. Some other things to look out for are:

• Saliva that seems thick or stringy
• Sores or split skin at the corners of the mouth
• Cracked lips
• Bad breath
• Difficulty speaking or swallowing
• Sore throat
• Altered sense of taste
• Fungal infection of the mouth
• Increased plaque, tooth decay, and gum disease
