| + | *Painful conditions in the mouth lead to increase in salivary secretion and possibly also to failure to swallow the [[Oral Cavity - Salivary Glands - Anatomy & Physiology#Saliva|saliva]] produced, |
| + | **e.g. in [[Cavity & Gingiva - Pathology#Foot and Mouth disease|foot and mouth disease]] in cattle there is an acute painful stomatitis and this is accompanied by the hypersalivation and partial anorexia. |

| + | *Xerophthalmia and xerostomia due to lymphocyte-mediated destruction of exocrine glands of [[Oral Cavity - Salivary Glands - Anatomy & Physiology|salivary glands]]. |
| + | *Both those terms refer to cessation of production of tear or [[Oral Cavity - Salivary Glands - Anatomy & Physiology#Saliva|saliva]] production respectively. |
| + | *May be primary autoimmune or part of another autoimmune condition. |
| + | *Causes of xerostomia: |
