BioXtra Dry Mouth Mild Toothpaste 50ml

BioXtra  Dry Mouth Mild Toothpaste gently supplements natural saliva by regulating the microenvironment of the mouth. The mild tasting formulation guards against plaque build-up, strengthens enamel, helps prevent the formation of dental caries and ease the symptoms and effects of Dry Mouth (xerostomia). It helps maintain a healthy mouth and promote fresh breath. BioXtra Dry Mouth Mild Toothpaste has a low foaming effect.

The Mild Toothpaste is SLS (sodium lauryl sulphate) free. SLS is a detergent  that in some cases can cause painful spots ( aphthous ulcers) in the mouth. In case of Dry Mouth these problems occur more frequently due to the lack of the natural protective system normally present in saliva. Using bioXtra Mild Toothpaste may help to reduce the onset of aphthous ulcers. Toothpaste is not suitable for children of 6 years and under. Supervise children as necessary until capable of using without help.

The most common cause for the onset of dry mouth is medication. Worldwide more than 1800 commonly prescribed medicines list ‘dry mouth’ as a side effect.  The most commonly prescribed families of drugs that have the capacity to induce Dry Mouth are: Antihypertensives, antihistamines, antidepressants, antipsychotics and antiparkinsonians. Natural saliva contains a complex balance of essential components, which protect the sensitive tissues of your teeth and gums. Any reduction in saliva flow can lead to a condition known as Dry Mouth, or clinically called Xerostomia. Dry Mouth disturbs your mouth’s natural balance and may contribute to discomfort, poor oral health, bad breath and even affect your general health and well-being.
