Biotene Toothpaste

a review of Biotene products


Biotene toothpaste is used to relieve dry mouth.

Dry mouth can be mild or severe and has many causes including sjogren's syndrome, taking medications, and chronic diseases.



This problem is becoming more and more common as the population ages and more adults are taking prescription medicines for a variety of health problems.

It can range in severity from just a little annoying to severe. A severely dry mouth makes it difficult to eat and talk.

Biotene toothpaste is commonly recommended for relieving the symptoms of dry mouth Dry mouth is not only uncomfortable and annoying, it also makes getting gum disease more likely and increases the risk for tooth decay.

Saliva helps to buffer the acids that cause cavities and contains enzymes that start the digestive process.

Biotene uses a bio-active enzyme system to replace salivary enzymes and comes in 3 varieties.

All three reduce tissue irritations, contain no sodium lauryl sulfate and have a gentle low foaming formula.

  • Biotene
  • Biotene Sensitive - includes a desensitizing ingredient
  • Biotene PBF - provides extra cleaning power to loosen biofilm also known as dental plaque

Other dry mouth products

biotene toothpaste Biotene makes the following products that can be used to moisten and refresh your mouth throughout the day:
  • Biotene mouthwash
  • Biotene liquid
  • Biotene mouthspray
  • Biotene chewing gum

Because some of these products contain peppermint oil they may not be suitable for people with GERD.

Patient reviews:

My clients who use these products say they improve dry mouth but do not entirely cure dry mouth. Since regular toothpaste can actually dry your mouth. It's a good idea to use Biotene.

Here are some more ideas for improving dry mouth.
