10 Causes of Dry Mouth
Cause #3: Dehydration
We can’t survive for long without water. It is essential to our survival. Most of us, though, are fortunate enough to have easy access to water, meaning we never have to go without. Regardless of accessibility, though, we can still become dehydrated and this can lead to having a dry mouth.
People that have been working hard or exercising will sometimes experience dehydration as they lose more liquid than usual through sweating. Some illnesses can also cause us to become dehydrated, causing our mouths to dry up. Rehydrating ourselves is usually just a case of having a drink but you should see a doctor if symptoms persist.
