Cotton Feeling In Mouth

Saliva is very important in keeping our mouths moist, cleansing them, and digesting food. Saliva also helps in fighting and controlling fungi and bacteria that could cause thrushes and lesions in the mouth. A cotton feeling in the mouth means you do not have enough saliva, which could present a great danger to your oral health. Side effects of certain medications could cause a cottony feeling in the mouth. Antibiotics are known to cause a dry mouth in most patients, and medication used in the treatment of anxiety, depression, allergies, and colds are also common causes of dry mouth.
