10 Causes of Dry Mouth
Cause #5: Nerve Damage
Nerves can be found throughout most of our bodies. They help us to touch and feel the environment around us, giving us vital information regarding our surroundings. They also help to protect us from harm and help us to react appropriately to certain stimuli. They are quite delicate, though, and they can become damaged.
If you have a dry mouth and symptoms are persisting, it could be a sign that you have damaged nerves in the neck or head area. This might be down to recent surgery or maybe down to a recent physical trauma. If symptoms do persist then you should make an appointment to get it checked out.
