Dry Mouth and Denture Wearers
Saliva helps create suction between the denture and the gum tissue. This helps stabilize and retain the denture. Saliva acts as a lubricant. This helps to prevent irritation and abrasion that can cause sore spots under the denture.
Finally, saliva is important in the prevention of many oral diseases such as Candida, also known as oral thrush, oral stomatitis and angular cheilosis, which are sores at the corner of the mouth.
