Xerostomia (dry mouth) is caused by low salivary flow. This can originate due to medical conditions (eg. Sjogren’s Syndrome) which affects salivary gland function, and certain medications (e.g.. heart meds) whose side effects include dry mouth.

It can also be caused by something as simple as inadequate hydration.
