Product Information

Alcohol and Sugar Free – One of the reasons this gel works so well is because it does not contain alcohol so your mouth won’t react badly to any burning sensation and will not get dry. Sugar is bad and causes cavities so good thing they kept that out. This may make your food taste unpleasant and put you off eating. You can clean your tongue with a bicarbonate of soda solution. Dissolve 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda (available from your chemist) in a pint (570mls) of warm water. Use a soft toothbrush or gauze dipped in the solution to clean your tongue. And unlike some mainstream Mouthwashes such as Listerine and Colgate, this does not contain any alcohol or menthol meaning you won’t get that burning or stinging feeling. Allday ® Dry Mouth Gel combats dry mouth differently than any other moisturizing mouth product. This patented innovation uses a special mucoadhesive hydrogel and maximum xylitol concentration to relieve dry mouth symptoms and improve the poor oral health that accompanies it. If you have dry mouth, your doctor may also prescribe an oral rinse to restore mouth moisture. You can get these products over the counter in a rinse or spray. And there are toothpastes, mouthwashes, and moisturizing gels just for dry mouth; ask your dentist or doctor about them. If that doesn't help, they may prescribe a medication that boosts saliva production called Salagen. Another prescription drug, Evoxac, is FDA-approved to treat dry mouth in people with Sjögren's syndrome, an autoimmune disease linked to dry eyes, dry mouth, dry skin, and muscle pain.

They can prescribe mouthwashes, lozenges, artificial saliva sprays, gels or tablets if needed. Saliva is important to maintain the health of your teeth and mouth. Taking these steps to protect your teeth may also help your dry mouth condition: You can break the lozenges into smaller pieces so they last a lot longer and you can be sure to have a nice moisturised fresh smelling mouth.

This was tested in laboratories and it was established that the moisture was held for 2 hours more than other similar sprays. Breathe through your nose, not your mouth. You may need to seek treatment for snoring if it causes you to breathe through your mouth during the night. Try over-the-counter saliva substitutes that contain xylitol, such as Mouth Kote or Oasis Moisturizing Mouth Spray, or that contain carboxymethylcellulose (kahr-bok-see-meth-ul-SEL-u-lohs) or hydroxyethyl cellulose (hi-drok-see-ETH-ul SEL-u-lohs), such as Biotene OralBalance Moisturizing Gel.

Since dry mouth patients are high-risk, achieving a non-acidic oral environment is crucial for disease prevention. Allday gel is manufactured to a neutral pH of ~7.0, providing continuous buffering and protection with use throughout the day.Unfortunately, some of the most well-known dry mouth products have a pH well below the critical level for erosion and demineralization of dentin, and even enamel. 2 Since so many dry mouth patients have exposed root surfaces, a moisturizer with a pH below 6.7 may be harmful to them. 3 Products that have been tested and approved by the medical community tend to give better results and they are safer to use in general.
