Dry mouth (xerostomia) is a common yet often overlooked issue among older adults. It can significantly affect oral health, comfort, and overall quality of life. Biotène® dry mouth products offer an effective, gentle solution and are an excellent addition to any senior dental care routine.

Many seniors experience dry mouth due to:

• Common medications (e.g., blood pressure meds, antidepressants, antihistamines)

• Chronic conditions (e.g., diabetes, Sjögren’s syndrome)

• Age-related decrease in saliva production

​

Since saliva plays a critical role in protecting the mouth—by neutralizing acids, washing away food particles, and keeping tissues healthy—its absence can lead to serious oral health problems.

Biotène® offers a line of specially formulated products that are designed to relieve and manage dry mouth symptoms safely and effectively.

​

Key Benefits:

• Moisturizes oral tissues to provide long-lasting relief

• Mimics natural saliva to support a healthy mouth environment

• Helps maintain a balanced oral pH, reducing acid damage

• Soothes irritation in dry or sensitive mouths

1. Prevents Oral Health Issues

Dry mouth increases the risk of:

• Tooth decay and root cavities

• Gum disease and inflammation

• Oral infections like candidiasis (thrush)

• Difficulty speaking, chewing, swallowing, and tasting

​

Biotène® helps reduce these risks by keeping the mouth hydrated and comfortable.
