Dry mouth promotes tooth decay
Dear Dr. Donohue: I am
asking about dry mouth. I
have enclosed a list of the
20 medicines I take. My
mouth has become such a
problem that it keeps me up
most of the night. — D.P.
Answer: Dry mouth is an
aggravating condition you
share with many others.
In addition to the unpleasant sensations, it promotes
tooth decay. You have to

cause. Treatment depends
on finding the cause.
Medicines often are responsible for the mouth
drying. Your list of 20 staggers the mind. Three of
your medicines are diuretics, water pills. They are
Lasix, metolazone (Zaroxolyn) and spironolactone.
They might be keeping you
on the dry side, and that
could affect your mouth.
Coreg, another of your
medicines, has dry mouth
listed as a side effect. It’s
used for heartbeat regulation and in some cases of
heart failure. Ambien is
a sleeping pill that might
dry the mouth. Don’t stop
any of these medicines.
They were prescribed for a
purpose. You have to speak
with your doctor about any
changes in these drugs.
On your own, you can
keep the mouth moist by
carrying a plastic squeeze
bottle of water and using
it often. Put it on a nightstand next to your bed so
you can get some water
without having to get out
of bed. Artificial salivas
— Moi-Stir, Salivart and
many others — are worth
a try. Biotene products are
found in all drugstores, and
often restore moisture to a
dry mouth. OraMoist is a
time-release patch, about
the size of a small tablet,
that sticks to the roof of the
mouth and gradually releases moisture for hours.
In no way do I want to

add to your list of medicines. Others, however,
with this problem can consider Evoxac or pilocarpine
to promote saliva production. Both are prescription
items.
Dear Dr. Donohue: I have
yet to read in your column
anything about today’s No.
1 killer. Doctors prescribe
medicines for all ailments
but have yet to find a solution to stress. Until we can
properly treat it, there will
be no cure for the many ailments it promotes. — J.L.
Answer: You’ll not get
an argument from any doctor about stress underlying
illnesses. People today are
faced with a debilitating
level of stress. I think we
can agree that humankind
always has faced a certain
amount of stress. Cavemen
confronting a hungry bear
had stress-filled lives. So did
people whose children died
from tuberculosis, pneumonia and shortly after birth
from infectious diseases
that have been conquered
through antibiotics.
If stress is ruining your
life, we have doctors who
specialize in treating it.
Psychiatrists use both medicine and talk therapy to
help a person accommodate
life’s stresses. Psychologists address the issue, too.
I’m sure one of these professionals can help you lessen
the unwholesome burden
of stress you bear.
DAILY CRYPTOQUOTES - Here’s how to work it:
Sudoku is like a crossword puzzle,
but uses numbers instead of words.
The puzzle is a box of 81 squares,
subdivided into 3x3 cubes of 9
squares each. Some squares are
filled in with numbers. The rest
should be filled in by the puzzler.
Fill in the blank squares allowing
the numbers 1-9 to appear only
once in
every row,
once in every column
and once in
every 3x3
box.
One-star
puzzles are
for beginners, and
the difficulty
gradually
increases
through the
week to a
very challenging fivestar puzzle.
