Many adults over 60 wake up at night with a dry, sticky mouth and assume it’s just part of aging. But dentists say something surprising: persistent dry mouth may quietly affect your teeth, gums, and even your brain health. In this episode of Healthy Golden Years, Doctor Michael Reynolds and Doctor Charles Whitmore explain why dry mouth after 60 deserves more attention than most people realize. You’ll discover: • Why saliva is one of the mouth’s most powerful natural defenses • How dry mouth can increase the risk of cavities and gum disease • The surprising reason many healthy teeth suddenly develop problems after 60 • Why over 500 common medications may reduce saliva production • The possible connection researchers are exploring between oral bacteria and brain health Many older adults think dry mouth is harmless. But when saliva levels stay low, the mouth may lose part of its natural protection system.

The good news is that there are simple steps that may help protect your mouth and overall health as you age. 👉 Watch until the end to learn the small daily habits dentists say can make the biggest difference after 60.
