What causes dry mouth and why does it matter?
Dry mouth, or xerostomia, occurs when the mouth doesn't produce enough saliva. It can be caused by medications, breathing through the mouth, dehydration, stress, or certain medical conditions. Saliva is essential for neutralizing acids, washing away bacteria, and keeping oral tissues comfortable—so chronic dry mouth can contribute to bad breath, discomfort, and increased cavity risk over time.
How does this rinse relieve dry mouth?
This formula uses moisturizing and lubricating ingredients—including glycerin, propylene glycol, sorbitol, and xanthan gum—to coat and hydrate oral tissues. Rather than simply masking dryness, these ingredients help create a moisture barrier that provides lasting comfort and lubrication throughout the mouth, tongue, and cheeks.
How often can I use this rinse?
This rinse can be used up to five times daily for adults and children over 12, or as directed by a dentist. It is designed for frequent use throughout the day, making it especially helpful before bed, after waking, or any time dryness becomes uncomfortable.
How do I use it?
Pour 10-15 mL into a cup, gargle and swish for 30 seconds, then spit. Use up to five times daily. This rinse is for adults and children over 12 years of age.
Does this rinse also freshen breath?
Yes. Dry mouth is one of the most common causes of bad breath, since reduced saliva allows odor-causing bacteria to thrive. By moisturizing the mouth and neutralizing dryness, this rinse helps address one of the root causes of bad breath while the fresh mint flavor leaves the mouth feeling clean and refreshed.
Does this rinse contain alcohol or fluoride?
No. This formula contains no alcohol or fluoride. Alcohol-based rinses can actually worsen dry mouth by further drying out oral tissues, making an alcohol-free formula especially important for people who experience dryness regularly.
What does xylitol do in this formula?
Xylitol is a natural sweetener that also supports a balanced oral environment. It helps stimulate saliva flow, which is particularly beneficial for dry mouth sufferers, and does not contribute to tooth decay the way sugar does.
What does xanthan gum do?
Xanthan gum is a natural thickening agent that gives this rinse a slightly viscous consistency. This helps the formula coat and cling to oral tissues longer, extending the moisturizing and lubricating effect beyond the rinse itself.
