Description
Biotene saliva gel is a product designed to provide relief for individuals suffering from dry mouth, also known as xerostomia. Dry mouth can be caused by various factors, including medication side effects, medical conditions, or radiation therapy. It occurs when the salivary glands in the mouth do not produce enough saliva to keep the mouth moist.
Biotene saliva gel works by providing long-lasting moisture and lubrication to the mouth, helping to alleviate the discomfort associated with dry mouth. It contains a combination of moisturising ingredients such as glycerin and xylitol, which help to hydrate the mouth and promote saliva production. Additionally, it may contain enzymes such as lactoperoxidase, lysozyme, and glucose oxidase, which help to maintain a healthy oral environment by combating harmful bacteria.
The gel formulation of Biotene allows for targeted application to specific areas of the mouth that may be particularly dry or uncomfortable. It is typically applied directly to the gums, tongue, or roof of the mouth as needed throughout the day.
Biotene saliva gel is often recommended by dentists and healthcare professionals for individuals experiencing dry mouth symptoms. However, it’s important to note that while Biotene can provide temporary relief from dry mouth symptoms, it does not address the underlying cause. Therefore, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the cause of dry mouth and to develop a comprehensive treatment plan.
