Inadequate water consumption may be a reason or dystrophy of thesalivary glands during old age can be a reason. Ruling out sialolith( a minor stone like formation which blocks the salivary duct connecting gland to mouth) should be ruled out as well. Please visit an oral pathologist for diagnosis and further treatment.
