Question:
Dry mouth due to dentures: Is it possible to develop dry mouth from new dentures? I have checked out medical possibilities for this condition and there are none.

The dry mouth is very severe and I must constantly suck on sugar-free candies to relieve the condition. My previous dentures did not evoke this condition. ... Visitor from NY

Answer:
Yes, dentures can cause the mouth to dry out as well as increase the salvia outflow.

You may want to check into the type of acrylic which was used by asking the laboratory for the ingredients. Then have this tested with any possible alergies that you have.

There are different saliva subsitutes which you may try such as Biotin as an example. One other thing that you may want to investigate is... did you change any medications lately.. for there are some medications which cause Xerostomia (Dry Mouth).
