Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this research study is to test the effectiveness of treating dry mouth through water rehydration using this extra oral water pump/irrigation device.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Dry mouth causes difficulty with chewing, swallowing, speech, and increases the risk dental cavities. It also can cause discomfort in the mouth, and a loss of general quality of life. The oral irrigation device supplies a small amount of water to participant's mouth through a small tube that is placed in the corner of the mouth throughout the time participants wear it.

In this study, participants will be asked to:

1. Visit the dental school clinic two (2) times for study visits.
2. Wear the oral irrigation device as directed by the investigator.
3. Keep notes at home.
4. Answer survey questions during both dental visits about dry mouth symptoms.
5. Give permission for the researchers to collect information about medications or health conditions that contribute to dry mouth from participant's medical records.
