as after prolonged speech or when <a href=\"https:\/\/kroepmondzorg.nl\/stress\/\">under stress<\/a>.<br \/>\nIt gets annoying when you suffer from insufficient saliva in your mouth for a longer period of time.<br \/>\nProlonged or persistent mouth dryness can be bad for your teeth and oral mucosa.    <span style=\"background-color: var( --e-global-color-7a932bc );color: var( --e-global-color-text );font-family: var(--global--font-secondary)\">A lack of saliva is the cause of dry mouth.<br \/>\nFor example, the salivary glands do not release enough saliva.<br \/>\nSaliva can also dry out due to evaporation when breathing through the mouth.<br \/>\nFor children, we have a <a href=\"https:\/\/kroepmondzorg.nl\/poetsplan\/\">free brushing plan<\/a> that can help with this!   <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>How does dry mouth affect your teeth?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In a healthy mouth, saliva helps protect your teeth.<br \/>\nIf you don&#8217;t have enough saliva, plaque forms faster than normal.<br \/>\nThis causes cavities to form more quickly in your teeth.<br \/>\nThis happens especially if you regularly eat foods or drink beverages that contain sugar.<br \/>\nIn a dry mouth, plaque and cavities form mainly along the edges of the gums.<br \/>\nThis can also cause the gums to become inflamed.<br \/>\nEventually, the teeth may become loose.<br \/>\nWe at <a href=\"https:\/\/kroepmondzorg.nl\/en\/\">Kroep Mondzorg<\/a> help prevent this from happening.<br \/>\nTherefore, without additional protective measures, your teeth will be lost more quickly.<br \/>\nTo get rid of the dry feeling, people sometimes suck on acidic candies.<br \/>\nThe acid in the candies actually increases the occurrence of cavities and <a
