A member asked:
Can chronic dry mouth cause blocked salivary glands and other mouth issues?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Dry mouth: I would expect that blocked salivary glands would be the cause of dry mouth better than the other way around. You should see a dentist to evaluate the patency of both your sublingual and parotid salivary glands. In the meantime use biotene or some other product to enhance and helpbto eliminate dry mouth.
