What to Do About Dry Mouth

Dry Mouth Risk

  • Saliva, often overlooked, stands as the optimal remedy for maintaining good oral health.
  • A healthy mouth has a pH level of ~7.0. Lower saliva flow limits buffering capacity and lowers the pH of the mouth.
  • Your teeth need to maintain a neutral pH to avoid demineralizing and erosion.
  • Dry mouth puts you at a high risk for dental problems, including cavities.
  • Xylitol can help stimulate saliva, and starves cavity-causing bacteria.

Say Goodbye to Dry Mouth—Relief That Lasts All Day

Dry mouth is more prevalent today than ever before

Estimates of the number of people that suffer from dry mouth have varied greatly over the years, some as high as 62%. A recent systematic review of more than two dozen scientifically reliable studies estimated that 27.1% of adults in the Americas suffer from xerostomia/hyposalivation1, Even that low percentage means an averagesized general dental practice likely has over 400 patients suffering from dry mouth. They may not understand that they are all at high risk for “dental problems,” but you do.
