Remember the sensation similar to that of a warm liquid flooding your tongue when you smell a deliciously baked chocolate cake? Or a freshly baked brown bread early in the morning? That is your saliva. The salivary glands present in the inner linings of the lips, cheeks and the mouth produce saliva. Saliva protects one from tooth decay, keeps the mouth moist and helps in the digestive process. Any disease that affects the saliva gland comes under the domain of salivary gland disorders .

It is common for skin to get dry and the condition is marked by less than the required water in the epidermis (the topmost skin layer). Males and females are equally affected by it. With age, the incidences for having dry skin increases. Elderly people tend to have less amount of natural lubricants and oil in the skin. Areas like the hands, lower legs and arms are more prone to have dry skin. Atmospheric humidity also affects the dryness of skin. It is called xerosic dermatitis or xeroderma.

Salivary glands play a useful part in the human body. They secrete saliva, which performs tasks like helping with digesting food, keeping your mouth from getting dry and protecting your teeth from germs. There are numerous salivary glands in your body, spreading through the entire oral and throat region. They are present at the base of your mouth, below the tongue and on the insides of the cheeks. They are also present all along your throat.
