There are many reasons for your dry mouth. Side effects from medication, such as antihistamines or antidepressants, can reduce saliva production. Natural age-related changes, medical treatments like radiation therapy, and chronic conditions such as diabetes or autoimmune diseases can also contribute.

Lifestyle factors, including smoking, caffeine intake, and dehydration, may worsen the problem.

Switched hygienists in coming to J&D Dental and it was the greatest dental experience I have ever had. Sarah is not only exceptional, but the care was impressive as well. The technology available is first class, and a simple cleaning procedure was a breeze. Dr. Herbert is beyond personable...

I happened to get a mailer from them right when I was considering trying a downtown dentist after a recent move, and I'm so glad I did. The hygienist was great, as was the dentist (Sarah), and their tech was even better than my last office (which was top notch). I highly recommend these folks!

Douglas Meisner

First and only dentists office I have ever been to, hoping to keep it that way. Staff is great. Service is excellent. So many people talk about how they hate going to the dentist, but with J & D Dental the experience is enjoyable. I tell my friends about my dentist office and they get jealous.

Teeth scraped, cleaned and polished by a terrific hygienist, periodontal check with out pain or bleeding, Dr Herbert checks my Invisaline progress and crown replacement issue and together we discuss and find a way to get them done before the end of the year - a win-win for everyone! I love the professionalism of Dr Jennifer Herbert, DDS and her amazing staff and their willingness to work with every patient's anxities and idiocinracies. Thank you for giving me back my smile.

I've been a patient here for 20+ years and have only ever had positive experiences. The ladies at the front desk are welcoming, the dental hygienists are kind and gentle, and Dr. Herbert and her assistants are excellent. My dental hygiene habits have fluctuated over the years and during the worst of times, I was treated with the same respect and care that I'm treated with now. I cannot recommend and thank Dr. Herbert and her amazing team enough.

I was in Minneapolis on business and needed some urgent dental work done. I contacted J & D and they were able to work me into the schedule. I chose them because of their five star rating and they certainly did not disappoint. The entire staff was amazing to work with and Dr. Herbert was incredible. If I lived in Minneapolis, this would be my Dentist without any question. Highly recommended!! Thanks Dr. Herbert and staff for taking such great care of me!!

With ongoing care, we can minimize long-term damage and keep your mouth healthy.

What treatments does Dr. Herbert offer for dry mouth?

If necessary, she will schedule regular follow-ups to monitor your condition and make adjustments to your treatment plan.

Can lifestyle changes improve my dry mouth symptoms?

Dr. Herbert can also provide tips on improving oral hygiene to reduce bacteria buildup and prevent tooth decay. By combining these changes with professional treatments, you'll experience lasting relief and better oral health.
