Dry Mouth and Throat Information

Dry Mouth Relief is available at CBT

Xerostomia is one of the most difficult oral conditions to completely eliminate. Because xerostomia is a common contributing factor to halitosis it is easy to understand why so many halitosis sufferers also have dry mouth conditions. A dry mouth and throat condition will also promote the growth of bacteria in the mouth and increase one's chances of getting tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health problems. Xerostomia or dry mouth syndrome will also inhibit the swallowing function and digestive process. After treating thousands of patients for both conditions we have found many do achieve significant improvement in their dry mouth conditions, and some even achieve a state of normal salivary flow. There are a number of patients, however, that remain unchanged. The first and simplest recommendation is for patients to consume at least eight glasses of water per day. This is the recommended daily allowance of water for an adult. Chewing sugarless gum also helps to increase salivary flow while chewing. The avoidance of smoking is also important due to the obvious health hazards, but smoking is also known to dry the oral mucosa. Despite numerous products claiming they can eliminate or significantly improve dry mouth conditions we have found only a few products that bring significant dry mouth relief. In our efforts to help those suffering from xerostomia or dry mouth and throat we are constantly investigating and testing new dry mouth relief products. Patients often ask us which one of the dry mouth products we have is best for them. Unfortunately we are not able to answer that question so easily because everybody is different and different products work differently with different people. Our recommendation is to try all of them and compare them in order to determine which product or combination of products works best for them.

Products for Dry Mouth Conditions

We are now utilizing a new saliva stimulating product from Europe called SalivaSure®, and it has proven itself to be of great benefit to most patients suffering from dry mouth and throat. Independent clinical studies at a major European university have supported our findings with this new product. These tablets are a very inexpensive product. Another product we use is a medicated sugarless chewing gum that contains zinc ions. This will also stimulate salivary flow while preventing bacterial growth in the mouth.

Both the chewing gum and the saliva stimulating tablets can be found in our online store.

There is no question that a dry mouth condition can be very difficult to eliminate entirely, but even if a patient's dry mouth syndrome remains we can still effectively treat their halitosis condition.
