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.
