Biotene Dental Products Dry Toothpaste Gel

I am a dentist that recommends Biotene toothpaste to those patients that have sensitive mouths, dry mouths, or get canker sores frequently. The paste is a god-send for these folks!

Biotene toothpaste is biocompatible product that will clean your teeth without irritating your oral mucosa. The product that is in most generic toothpastes, sodium lauryl sulfate, is a form of soap, and can cause canker sores and an irritated mouth in some individuals. BIOTENE DOES NOT HAVE SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE. Instead, it has enzymes that help break down plaque and loosen plaque from the teeth. It will not "foam" like other toothpastes, since it has no sodium lauryl sulfate, but don't let this bother you - it will still clean your teeth gently and with low irritation and low abrasivity.

This is a great product and I highly recommend it!

After suffering from years of sensitive teeth and frequent gum problems which were all worsened by Sensodyne and other toothpastes for sensitive teeth or problem gums, this wonderful toothpaste and their mouthwash have become an ongoing lifesaver and a joy to use. My teeth and gums do so much better when I use it and it feels so much better than any other toothpaste that every time I've tried switching back to something cheaper, I greatly regretted it.

Even my dental hygienist has noticed a big improvement in the health of my gums and teeth and she always picks up on any adverse signs anywhere. I hope you enjoy and benefit from these wonderful products as much as I have!

The combination of this toothpaste and mouthwash is the only treatment I have found that seems to prevent thrush infections.

After starting inhaled steroids for asthma 10 years ago, frequent oral thrush (candidas albicans) infections were an ongoing problem. The alcohol-based mouthwashes only made matters worse, and it was a hassle to get prescription nystatin, as it usually required a delayed trip to my doctor. As any sufferer of thrush knows, these infections quickly advance to the point that one can not eat solid food, drink mildly acidic liquids, or even speak coherently.

To stay thrush-free, I floss before bed, brush with Biotene toothpaste 2x a day (making sure to brush the gums, roof of mouth, and tongue), and rinse with Biotene mouthwash to top it off. I can now eat spicy foods again!
