Dry mouth: what to discuss before whitening
A dry or sticky mouth is worth mentioning before a whitening appointment. Do not treat it only as an inconvenience to work around.

Look beyond the cosmetic goal
Dry mouth can have several causes, including medicines or health conditions, and can increase decay risk. A dentist or doctor can help assess ongoing symptoms. Do not stop or change prescribed medicine on your own.
Prepare the relevant details
Note when dryness is most noticeable, how long it has been happening and the medicines or supplements you take. Explain any difficulty eating, speaking or sleeping. These details help a clinician understand the issue more clearly than a product recommendation request alone.
Ask about your existing products
Bring the names of mouthwashes, toothpastes and whitening products you use. Ask whether they fit the plan your clinician recommends. Do not keep adding products simply because each one claims to solve a different symptom.
Revisit whitening after advice
Tell JayWhite about the concern before selecting a treatment date. A cosmetic package should not distract from getting persistent dryness assessed. Once you have guidance, you can discuss whether and when a whitening conversation is appropriate for you.
