Dry mouth and Sjögren's syndrome

There may be an explanation for your dry-mouth symptoms

The more you know about Sjögren’s syndrome , the easier it will be to take an active part in managing your treatment plan. Sjögren’s syndrome is a common autoimmune disorder affecting nearly four million people in the U.S. If you have Sjögren’s syndrome, you may have dry-mouth symptoms. The reason is that your immune system is attacking the cells within your glands that make moisture, including saliva.

A proper diagnosis can be a challenge

Most people with Sjögren’s syndrome are women. In fact, 9 out of 10 people with Sjögren’s syndrome are women. Unfortunately, getting a diagnosis is often not that easy. On average, it takes up to six and one-half years from the start of symptoms to get a proper diagnosis. And in the United States, it’s estimated that up to one-half of the people with Sjögren’s syndrome have not been diagnosed.
