Sjogren's syndrome: Sjogren's chief symptoms are dry mouth and dry eyes. A dry mouth (xerostomia) is an ideal environment for the build-up of plaque and the growth of bacteria that causes tooth decay. If not treated early, the decay can advance rapidly, destroying enamel, and is often non-repairable.
