==Introduction==
 
*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.

=== Sjorgren’s-like syndrome ===
 
 
 
*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:
 
**Dysautonomia
 
**Infectious sialadenitis
 
**Neoplasia
 
**Salivary amyloidosis
 
**Head and neck radiation
 
**Drugs
 
**AutoI disease.
