8. Treatment of Non-Infectious Angular Cheilitis

Treatment of non-infectious angular cheilitis depends largely upon the cause. If excessive saliva is to blame, petroleum jelly or other softening agents can help keep the corners of the mouth lubricated. Inadequate dental hardware should be filed or replaced. Diet can address nutritional deficits. Whatever the cause, proper oral hygiene can prevent the condition from worsening.
