Xerostomia, or dry mouth, is a clinical condition whose prevalence is ever growing in our society, and which leads to functional and organic mouth disorders, making daily activities difficult for those affected. 

There are multiple causes that may trigger xerostomia, with the intake of certain drugs being one of the most frequent. Over 500 drugs are known to cause xerostomia as a side effect (antidepressants, antihistamines, antihypertensives and analgesics, among others), cancer treatments (mainly head and neck radiation therapy), systemic diseases such as Sjögren's syndrome and diabetes, and moments of stress or anxiety. 

HYDRATING THE ORAL CAVITY 

Toothpaste and mouthwash
Products indicated for daily oral hygiene in people with dry mouth. 

Long-lasting moisturiser gel
Indicated for people requiring increased moisturisation 

Its formula contains active ingredients that are able to obtain maximum hydration: 

• Betaine: Long-lasting wetting agent. 

• Xylitol: hydrates the oral cavity, prevents the onset of caries and remineralises enamel. 

• Sodium fluoride: prevents the onset of caries and remineralises enamel. 

• Aloe vera (only in the gel): soothes burning mouth sensation and regenerates oral epithelium. 

It is extremely important to hydrate and take care of dry mouth by establishing proper daily habits and by using specific products such as Xeros dentaid^® to hydrate the oral cavity and stimulate natural saliva production. 

It is advisable to: 

• Perform strict oral hygiene with products specifically designed for xerostomia, such as Xeros dentaid^®. 

• Maintain adequate daily water intake 

• Moisten lips with lip balms. 

• Avoid dry or spicy foods and irritants. 

• Consume favourable foods, such as cured cheeses, fruits and vegetables. 

Xeros dentaid^® is the complete system that hydrates the oral cavity and stimulates natural saliva production, providing the elements needed for the daily care of dry mouth. 

STIMULATION OF NATURAL SALIVA PRODUCTION 

• Malic acid: a weak acid that stimulates natural saliva secretion, without damaging tooth enamel (scientifically proven).1,2,3 

• Xylitol: moistens the oral cavity, prevents the onset of caries and remineralises enamel. 

• Fluoride: prevents the onset of caries and remineralises enamel. 

• Buffer system (phosphate ions): prevents salivary pH from dropping below 5.5 while the tablet is dissolving in the mouth, thereby preventing enamel erosion (tablets and gum). 

Dental professionals, with the aid of Xeros dentaid^®, can now help improve xerostomia patients' day-to-day by boosting their quality of life.
