Detailed explanation-2: -Some people, especially later in Parkinson’s, may have trouble chewing or swallowing, or difficulty with drooling. Others might have extra movements (dyskinesia) in the mouth or jaw, or they could grind their teeth. Parkinson’s medications may cause dry mouth. Dry mouth increases the risk of cavities or gum disease.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dystonia is a sustained or repetitive muscle twisting, spasm or cramp that can occur at different times of day and in different stages of Parkinson’s disease (PD).
