  9. Salivary gland disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salivary_gland_disease

    Salivary gland dysfunction affects the flow, amount, or quality of saliva produced. A reduced salivation is termed hyposalivation.Hyposalivation often results in a dry mouth condition called xerostomia, and this can cause tooth decay due to the loss of the protective properties of saliva.
