Beware of dehydration — it causes mouth ulcers

Maintaining proper hydration is extremely important, as dehydration can cause multiple health problems, including oral health issues. Mouth ulcers are considered a common symptom of dehydration. Here are some tips on how to deal with them.

Can dehydration cause mouth ulcers?

When the body lacks adequate hydration, the salivary glands may not produce enough saliva, which is essential for keeping the mouth moist and protecting the mucous membranes.

This dryness can lead to irritation and inflammation, making oral tissues more vulnerable to damage and infection.

A lack of saliva also reduces its natural antibacterial properties, allowing harmful bacteria to multiply, which may result in the formation of painful sores or ulcers.

What are the early signs of dry mouth?

The first indicator is dry mouth, which occurs when the body does not have enough fluids to produce saliva.

Other signs include changes in saliva color, which may become thicker and more concentrated, indicating insufficient hydration.

Cracked lips and a dry tongue can serve as visible reminders of dehydration, signaling the need to increase fluid intake to maintain oral health.

How to manage dry mouth?

To relieve dry mouth and hydrate the body, it is essential to drink enough water throughout the day, aiming for at least eight cups (240 ml each), or more if you are physically active or live in a hot climate.

It is also recommended to add hydrating foods to your diet, such as water-rich fruits and vegetables like cucumbers, oranges, and strawberries, which significantly contribute to hydration.

In addition, avoiding excessive consumption of caffeine and alcohol is advised, as they can lead to dehydration.

Benefits of rinsing with salt water:

Rinsing with salt water has many benefits for oral and dental health, as it reduces the buildup of bacteria that cause mouth ulcers and acts as a natural mouth disinfectant.

Rinsing with clove water, which contains anti-inflammatory properties, is considered a natural pain reliever for toothaches and mouth ulcers. It also helps improve breath odor, prevent bacterial growth—especially after dental surgery sessions—and helps maintain oral moisture.
