What can seniors do about dry mouth and chewing problems?

Drinking regularly, an adequate supply of nutrients and, where appropriate, measures that stimulate saliva (ApaCare Gum or ApaCare Oralactin Gum sugar-free chewing gum) can help. If dry mouth persists, medications and possible underlying conditions should be reviewed. Dentures, chewing function and the oral mucosa should be checked regularly. In the case of chewing problems, it is important to adapt foods so that sufficient protein, vitamins and minerals can be consumed.
