What Is Xerostomia?
9. Health Conditions
In addition to the above factors, there are also things that can cause somebody to develop a dry throat, and this includes some health conditions. These include some autoimmune conditions, Alzheimer’s disease, and HIV/AIDs. People that have diabetes are also more likely to get a dry mouth, as are people who have had a stroke.
If you snore when sleeping with your mouth open, then the constant passing of air over your mouth parts can also lead to dryness. People that have oral thrush, which is a type of yeast infection, are also more likely to develop a dry mouth.
