T
he oral effects of HIV and AIDS occur because of your
weakened immune system and the medicines that kept
under control. Theseeffectshavealsofound inotherpeoplewith
weakened immune systems. Dry mouth (xerostomia) because
people with HIV have an increased risk of cavities, a dentist
will provide a program to reduce the risk. This may include
fluoride varnishes applied in the dental office, toothpaste that
add minerals to teeth and rinses that contain fluoride or reduce
acid (acidity of mouth) in the mouth. Patient education has an
essential part of this program. Dry mouth has xerostomia has a
symptomof HIV infectionbut not something thatwouldbe used
as a diagnostic tool. There are many reasons if you have HIV,
changes in the mouth may reflect changes in immune status.
Dry mouth (xerostomia) has a common side effect of medicines
that may take for HIV/AIDS. Dry mouth can make more prone
to tooth decay, gingivitis, thrush (oral yeast infection) and
periodontal (gum) disease. That’s because have less saliva, and
the quality of the saliva is changed exponentially. Besides water,
saliva includes electrolytes, mucus, antibacterial compounds,
enzymes and other proteins. The amounts of these substances
change in people with dry mouth. A decrease in saliva reduces
its ability to wash away sugars, food, bacteria and the acids
that bacteria produce. These acids cause teeth to decay. A
dentist can prescribe a fluoride rinse or gel or a saliva substitute
to counteract the increased risk of tooth decay and thrush.
