Can Menopause Cause Dry Mouth?

Lubricity for Menopausal Dry Mouth

Dry Mouth Symptoms are Related to Menopause

You might be wondering if your dry mouth symptoms are associated with menopause or some other medical condition. Dry Mouth is a common symptom in many medical and non-medical conditions, so it’s no wonder why you’d want to know if your menopause is causing your dry mouth.

There are many symptoms associated with menopause, including dry mouth, also known as, xerostomia. Circumstances during a woman’s life, such as, puberty, pregnancy, having children or menopause can cause their hormones to change.

Can Menopause be a Causing Factor for Dry Mouth?

YES, it can.

When a woman approaches menopause, estrogen starts to decline causing the mucus in the mouth and nose to dry up, affecting the amount of saliva being produced. When your mouth is not producing enough saliva it can cause difficulty eating, chewing, speaking, swallowing, and even a good night’s rest. Many women who suffer from dry mouth wake up multiple times per night to have water and keep their mouths moist. Menopausal dry mouth can also lead to other oral health issues like gum disease, tooth decay, metallic taste, and bad breath.

Why is Saliva Important?

Saliva plays a big role in our organism. Saliva helps your body with digestion, swallowing, prevents dehydration, protects soft tissue within the mouth, moisturizes the mouth, fights off minor infections, maintains a healthy balance of bacteria, prevents cavities, and even helps with proper pronunciations and speaking! When saliva is reduced, problems with plaque formation and periodontal disease may surface.

What is Menopausal Dry Mouth?

Menopausal dry mouth is essentially dry mouth symptoms that are caused by menopause and hormonal changes in your body.

Let’s talk more about how it may feel when you have dry mouth due to menopause.

Dry mouth may cause a sore or dry feeling in the mouth, throat and lips, as well as a feeling of thirst and hoarseness. Some also experience burning in the mouth and tongue, also known as, burning mouth syndrome. In more severe cases, it causes mouth sores, skin cracking around the mouth, sore throat, and even problems eating and swallowing. Dry mouth can adversely affect dental health and the digestive system.
