What is dry mouth?
Dry mouth, or ‘xerostomia’ in medical terms, is dry mouth resulting from either reduced saliva flow, or no saliva flow at all. While it is rarely the sign of anything serious, dry mouth can be very unpleasant and uncomfortable for those who suffer from it.
Generally, people can treat episodes of dry mouth by drinking plenty of water, sucking on ice cubes or ice lollies, or chewing sugar-free gum to create more saliva in the mouth. However, if these don’t help, you should speak to your GP or pharmacist who can suggest additional treatments to help keep your mouth moist.
While it is not a ‘disease’, xerostomia may be a symptom of various medical conditions, a side effect of a radiation to the head and neck, or a side effect of a wide variety of medications.
How does it work?
Salivix contains malic acid, which is a recognised sialagogue (the medical term for a substance that promotes the secretion of saliva).
Combining this with their pleasant fruit flavour, the pastilles stimulate natural saliva production in the same way as food does.
The pastilles are sugar-free and contain calcium lactate and sodium phosphate for active remineralisation of the teeth.
