Dry Mouth Can Cause ProblemsDry mouth can cause the teeth to hold bacteria and multiply this bacterium in a short period of time. This can cause the teeth to break down with time. The bacteria turn into decay, and this decay turns into cavities, and if the cavities are not taken care of then they can turn into an infection. You don't want this to happen to you.Having this bacterium in the mouth can be reduced or even eliminated by addressing the dry mouth issue, brushing regularly, and drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated.
