Xerostom Saliva Substitute Gel contains Xylitol which helps to prevent tooth decay – a major problem for anyone with long term dry mouth. In particular the risk of root surface decay is high for anyone who has little or no saliva.
The ability to buffer and neutralise sugar and acids in the mouth is reduced and lack of saliva can also lead to a thicker build up of plaque biofilm on the teeth and gums. This can increase the likelihood of bleeding gums.
Excellent oral hygiene is an important part of personal care for anyone with a dry mouth. This reduces the risk of tooth decay, gum disease and bad breath. Learn more about looking after your mouth here. Xylitol, a main ingredient in Xerostom Saliva Substitute Gel, helps achieve this.
