BioXtra Dry Mouth Toothpaste is a specialized, mild formulation designed to supplement natural saliva and alleviate the symptoms of xerostomia (dry mouth). By incorporating natural salivary components, it helps maintain the delicate balance of your oral micro-environment while providing superior hygiene. Its gentle, non-foaming action makes it ideal for those with sore, sensitive, or dry mouths who find standard toothpastes too harsh.
Is traditional toothpaste causing your dry mouth to sting?
Many standard toothpastes contain foaming agents (SLS) and strong flavours that can further dry out or irritate sensitive oral tissues. BioXtra takes a different approach. It replaces harsh detergents with a blend of natural enzymes and moisturizers that mimic your body’s own defense system. This ensures you get a 100% effective clean while providing the lubrication and protection your mouth needs to feel fresh and comfortable throughout the day.
Dry mouth causes
Dry mouth, clinically called xerostomia, can occur when saliva flow is insufficient. Stress, aging, some medications, cancer therapy, autoimmune disorders, and smoking are among the most common causes of dry mouth syndrome. Dry mouth shouldn't be ignored because it can affect your wellbeing. Very often, xerostomia is the cause of bad breath, poor oral health or even general health problems.
