10 Bell's Palsy Symptoms
Symptom #5: Dry Mouth
Our mouths are wet inside, and it is important that they are. Our saliva plays an important part in breaking down our food and also protects the mouth against injury and disease. Without saliva, our mouths can feel very uncomfortable, while eating can also become more challenging to us.
Many people with Bell’s palsy will find that they get a dry mouth. It can potentially lead to oral hygiene problems in addition to other complications, so it is something that should be dealt with accordingly. If you do have a dry mouth for prolonged periods then you should arrange to speak with a medical professional to find out why.
