Biotene Dry Mouth Relief Moisturizing Gel - 1.5 oz Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm on my second tube of Biotene OralBlance Gel. I have used it for about 3 weeks. My problem is I have dry mouth, but only at night. For the past couple of years, I've had bad dental checkups resulting in high dental bills. My dental hygenist finally diagnosed the high cavity rate as likely caused by my nightly dry mouth problem. The Biotene OralBalance Gel works and lasts all night, but needs to be applied fairly heavy to do so. Since it only comes in a 1.5 oz tubes, a tube goes pretty fast, and it's expensive. I get about 10-12 days out of a tube. A tube costs $6 - $12 depending upon where you buy it (including shipping, tax etc.). I've read reviews about other products ONLINE and have ordered another product in an effort to get a cheaper solution to night time dry mouth. OraHealth Xylitol Time Release Dome Mints come in boxes of 60 tablets and get good reviews (like this product) ONLINE. Even if two tablets are needed per night, they turn out to be cheaper than the Biotene Oral balance Gel in 1.5 Oz tubes. I'll update this review when I see how those work.
Update (08/20/09):
I've now been using OraHealth Xylitol Time Release Dome Mints to control my nighttime dry mouth for about a month. I find them to be as effective as Biotene OraBalance Gel but at a savings of more than half when Biotene OralBalance is only available in 1.5 ounce tubes. This Biotene product needs to be packaged in a more economicle size.

Biotene Dry Mouth Mouthwash Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been a hardcore user of Listerine for about 4 years (I'm so health concious I was only using the unflavored brown one because the fake sugars and flavors aren't going to make your mouth healthier anyways).
I can say after only 3 days of using Biotene I was sold on the product, it's simply the 2nd best thing I ever did for my mouth (the 1st was buying an all natural toothpaste that wasn't full of excessive mint flavor). Before using the product I would wake up with a nasty taste in my mouth, and it would be much worse if I didn't brush the night before (which I normal do but sometimes I forgot). In fact my mouth is so clean now there have been a couple times when I was in a hurry, and didn't brush or rinse my mouth the night before and the next morning and I didn't even realize I had skipped 2 cleanings, and I'm not exaggerating.
The reason why this mouthwash is so superior is because other mouthwashes simply use alcohol to "kill the germs" but the problem is, you need a solution of approx 75% alcohol to kill all the germs. Unfortunately the alcohol content of mouthwashes are regulated at 25% so leave it to say most of the germs will survive. Now add to that fact that the fake sugars in other mouthwashes actually PROMOTES bacterial growth. Then also add in the fact that alcohol is BAD for your gums. I mean why did you think other mouthwashes burn? That burning is gum tissue damage, alcohol actually promotes gum recession, which is what your trying to prevent (gingivitis).
Biotene contains the same exact enzymes your mouth naturally produces to kill bad bacteria and uses a natural sugar alcohol that doesn't promote bacterial growth. Also there's no heavy mint flavor to cover up the fact you still have bad bacteria in your mouth so you can enjoy that glass of orange juice in the morning without the nasty mint side effect you currently get.
Really think about the products you use, these all chemical mouthwashes and toothpaste you use have heavy mint flavor and fake sugars. I sometimes wonder if people are better off brushing and rinsing with only water as the fake sugars increase bacterial growth, the heavy mint is used to cover up the fact that the baste taste isn't entirely gone (it does came back doesn't it?). With Biotene it often takes days for the classic bad mouth taste to come back.
Do your mouth a favor, give Biotene a try.
