Biotene Dry Mouth OralBalance Gel FAQs
What is Dry Mouth?
Dry mouth can describe both the feeling of dry mouth (xerostomia) and the physical reduction in the flow of saliva (hyposalivation). Dry mouth can be caused by many things, including: medications, disease, radiation illness, aging or even stress. Consistent dry mouth not only can impact your quality of life by making it difficult to swallow and speak, but also it can negatively impact your Oral Health. In fact consistent dry mouth can result in an increase in dental decay, plaque, periodontal disease, gingivitis and other oral irritations. Take note that Biotene is not indicated for all of these symptoms.
Does using Biotène do more than just drinking water?
The Biotène moisturizing products (Oral Rinse, Gel and Spray) contain humectants (substances that help to retain water in the underlying tissues) and lubricants (substances that create a physical coating) to help moisturize and lubricate your mouth. Water does "moisturize", but it is brief due to lack of humectants. However, we certainly do not discourage you from sipping water to help relieve your Dry Mouth symptoms
How much do you use each time?
In accordance with the product label GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare (GSK CH) recommends placing 1-2 cm of gel directly on the tongue and spreading thoroughly inside the mouth. Biotene Oralbalance Gel can be used as frequently as needed for dry mouth symptom relief but GSK CH recommends that no more than a single tube of this product is used per day*.
