Can Asthma Cause Cavities??

Asthma per se may not be a risk for cavities.  But the people who have asthma can  have extremely dry mouths due to nebulizers and basic asthma medications witch can cause decreased saliva flow.  If you eat refiined carbohydrates {candy,pop,chips,pretzels, - too numerous to mention} and there are sweeteners in the inhaler medications then dental care on  a very regular basis would be extremely important.
