Xerostomia: Assessment, Diagnosis and Interventions
The purpose of this webinar is to provide an overview of xerostomia and the impact of medication-induced dry mouth on oral health. Normal properties of saliva will be reviewed, as well as oral complications that arise from the alterations in and/or loss of protective and antimicrobial effects that occur with hyposalivation. Clinicians will learn how to assess signs and symptoms of xerostomia, including medication-induced dry mouth. Interventions to improve comfort and function in patients with chronic dry mouth will also be discussed.
