Sjogren's Syndrome

Sjogren syndrome is an autoimmune condition that impacts the exocrine glands. These glands are important for the production of saliva and tears. The glands that are responsible for producing tears (the lacrimal glands) and saliva (the salivary glands) are the primary targets of the immune system's attacks, which inhibit the glands' capacity to release the relevant fluids. This can result in several issues, including dry eyes, a dry mouth, difficulty speaking, and an increased risk of tooth decay
