User Reviews for Saliva substitutes topical

XyliMelts (saliva substitutes) for Xerostomia "I started using Xyligel (my dentist gave me a sample) it works wonderfully. After using it for 4 days my gums and teeth hurt.. Last night I had to get up and brush my teeth and use a mouth wash because my gums hurt so much, I was getting scared. If I bite down on anything my teeth hurt. I am so disappointed that I can't use XyliGel anymore, it worked so well for me. Something is very wrong. I've been reading reviews on this product and a great many people are experiencing the same thing."

Mouth Kote (saliva substitutes) for Xerostomia "I take Vesicare for an overactive bladder. It helps a lot, but the side effect is extreme dry mouth!! I tried Bioteen and didn't like the taste. I then tried TheraBreath lozengers which seemed to help, but I didn't like waking up in the night and needing to suck on a strong mint flavored lozenger. When I tried Mouthkote spray I had instant relief and it left no real bad taste in my mouth. The bottle is next to me at night, so when I wake up with a Sahara desert in my mouth, I simply spray a couple times into my mouth, swish it around for 10 seconds, and fall right back to sleep."

XyliMelts (saliva substitutes) for Xerostomia "I have dry mouth due to Sicca syndrome and at first I thought it was wonderful in relieving dry mouth at night. Gradually over several months, I had gastric issues and sensitive teeth. Also had to have 2 root canals in previously good teeth (related?). When it got really uncomfortable, I visited my doctor due to black gassy stools several times a day, terrible gas, pressure and rumbling in the stomach. Then re-flux started. Stool test and blood test were normal so Dr. made appt. with gastroenterologist (not seen yet). I found a reference to gastric side affect from Xylitol. I stopped using the xylimelts and symptoms went away."

XyliMelts (saliva substitutes) for Xerostomia "I had a very bad experience after taking Xylimelts. At first I did not know what was causing me to feel so unwell. My tongue was extra swollen and felt hot. I had Tingling in my mouth and tongue. My voice was very hoarse and a tightness in my chest. I started to shake slightly throughout my arms. legs and body. I did not know what was causing it and I rang a health line. I wondered if I had Covid though I rarely go out. As there was no warning on the box of medication I did not connect to start with then as I had not taken anything else I decided to google to see if that showed any side effects. It certainly did. I went to my doctor's and I was given another medication which did help. However it was a holiday so the night it happened I had nowhere to call apart from going to emergency dept. I am telling you this because I think you should state all the possible side effects on your medication on the enclosed leaflet or box. boxes. That way an earlier diagnosis can be made. I"

XyliMelts (saliva substitutes) for Mucositis "I was told by my dentist to use these or something like it for dry mouth. I did. They work great. Till they started eating my gums! I thought I had an abscess on on molar then the other side flared up. Both in the same place I put the melts. Seeing my dentist next week. Hope there is no permanent damage."

Mouth Kote (saliva substitutes) for Xerostomia "Have dry and painful mouth of unknown cause. I have tried Biotene mouth wash, the rubbery losenges and several other treatments, but finally found Mouth Kote. Clearly the best for me. Lime (but not sweet) tasting. Causes you to make saliva when spraying in. I seem to be able to use it as often as I like. Really helps."

Biotene Moisturizing Mouth Spray (saliva substitutes) for Xerostomia "Biotene went down my throat and fused my epiglottis shut so that I could not breathe. Finally freed it and developed pneumonia and spent three days in hospital. I was told it had wax in it. Very dangerous. Deadly"

XyliMelts (saliva substitutes) for Xerostomia "I have sjogren's and loved xylimelts as it meant I could sleep several hours without a drink. But had a side effect of diarrhea and didn't associate it with xylimelts for 4 months even after other meds changes and gastro tests. Eliminated them 3 weeks ago and no diarrhea so xylitol was the culprit. Now thinking of trying mouth kote."

XyliMelts (saliva substitutes) for Xerostomia "XyliMelts was recommended by my dentist’s office for dry mouth caused by meds that I am on. Used nightly as instructed for 1 year. Decayed front tooth in my bridge & 3 teeth in my lower jaw. Having to get dental implants & already got 3 crowns in lower jaw. Cost approximately $7k. Wish I never heard of Xylimelts."

XyliMelts (saliva substitutes) for Xerostomia "I’ve been using Xilomelts for several months and they were great at first . It seems I have developed an allergy to them . My mouth became so irritated that it was hard to eat anything. Corners of my mouth were a mess too. I didn’t realize that it was the xilimelts Thats was causing it until I stopped using them to experiment and see. Sure enough, the irritation stopped slowly . I won’t use them again . I’m so sad because they let me get a little sleep at night ."

XyliMelts (saliva substitutes) for Xerostomia "Have used xyliMelts for years for dry mouth at night. Definitely helps with sleep. Sometimes the area of the gum where I put the xyliMelts is a little sensitive, but worth it for the sleep. Have tried other products, but these are the best. I am 80 and developed this dry mouth at night about five years ago. No real cause determined. Discovered this product by trial and error. Dentists need to be informed. I told my dentist and she now recommends this product."

NeutraSal (saliva substitutes) for Mucositis "I had horrible mucositis during my first round of chemo. I was hospitalized for 30 days. Neutrasal mouth rinse has kept me from ever getting a big outbreak of those awful sores again. Neutrasal has been a "miracle" product for me."

XyliMelts (saliva substitutes) for Xerostomia "I've been using Xyimelts Tablets for about one month since I starting using the CPAP for sleep apnea to help dry mouth caused by the CPAP. So far I have had only positive results. I wake up in the AM after a nights rest and the tablet has dissolved. I may have to move my tongue around to completely spread the tablet but the overall effect is positive."

Biotene Oral Balance (saliva substitutes) for Mucositis "I bought a bottle of Biotene spray yesterday. At first I was a little mad. It's a tiny bottle for like $6. I didn't even wait to get home; I opened it in the car. Worth. Every. Penny. I don't know what is in it but it is amazing. In 0.02 seconds my mouth went from feeling like the Sahara desert to your next door neighbor Jimmy's slip'n'slide when he put the baby oil on it. Ok, all jokes aside. Immediately your mouth feels better because its all lubed up, but whatever is in it made me start salivating myself. And it tastes good too. Downside was it made my tongue swell, gave me those painful "lie bumps", made my throat hurt, and hard to swallow. I must be allergic to something in it, but all is good over here. No regrets; would try again."

XyliMelts (saliva substitutes) for Xerostomia "Been taking Xylimelts at night ( 1) for dry mouth due to breathing thru my mouth while sleeping. I'm 66 and I have OSA. During dry winter months while sleeping I would wake up with a terribly parched mouth several times a night. This really helps !! Side effect - seems to act like a mild laxative...."

Biotene Mouthwash (saliva substitutes) for Xerostomia "I have sjogrens so have a dry mouth. From the first time I tried it I was impressed with no dryness from alcohol in my mouth, no burning. This mouth wash has kept my breathe and mouth slightly moist for awhile afterward use too. I highly recommend this for dry mouth, from medications or medical conditions."

NeutraSal (saliva substitutes) for Xerostomia "I actually liked this product when I was using it, but hated the inconvenience of having to mix the powder. It was hard to use away from home. My doctor gave me a lot of samples but now he said it isn't available? Not sure why. I like a new product he gave me a sample of called Lubricity (it's an oral spray) and I love the convenience of it. It also seems to last considerably longer than NeutraSal and most of the other products I've tried. Unfortunately it's not in any stores by me yet"

Biotene Mouthwash (saliva substitutes) for Mucositis "I started taking biotene mouthwash and spray on my own for dry mouth after radiation treatments for my prostate . However within a week I developed hoarsness and change of voice it continues. I am a vocalist. I have stopped for one day and my voice is getting less hoarse. Thank You"

For Xerostomia "I recently came across a new product that's on the market called Lubricity and I LOVE IT. It's an oral spray & so far seems to last MUCH longer than any other dry mouth spray I have ever used. I suffer from dry mouth & have for about 5 years. I ordered this product online since it's not sold in any stores near me. I came across it when doing some research online. They did offer a coupon code on the website when I bought it, seems like they have a different % off discount now but always seem to offer something. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS!"

XyliMelts (saliva substitutes) "I have dry mouth due to three diff meds. Didn't know the damage dry mouth could cause other than needing to keep a bottle of water near at all times. One day a tooth just broke off. The dentist showed me that my teeth were the consistency of chalk. She recommended a choice of three or four products. They worked as long as I had one in my mouth but as soon as the substance as melted or gone my mouth was dry again. I ended up losing another couple of teeth. My tongue looks like it has large cracks all over it. Even when the dentist is working in my mouth she had to wet my tongue down every few minutes. Others think XyliMelts causes loss of teeth when it may be the dry mouth that causes it. That was my case anyway. Finally another dentist recommended XyliMelts! It has made a huge difference. I have had no side effects.Thank you so very much. Had I discovered it earlier I could have saved thousands of dollars, hours in a dentist chair, and several teeth."

Glandosane Peppermint (saliva substitutes) for Mucositis "Has greatly improved my condition. Before use I could not get a sentence out without my mouth drying up completely. I would constantly have to remove strings from my mouth. It was enormously embarrassing and I would avoid conversations with people I didn't know. It's still not perfect as I have to spray if I'm in a conversation but at least I can now have one!!!"

Biotene Oral Balance (saliva substitutes) for Xerostomia "Husband has been using biotene spray for years due to the medicines that give him dry mouth. A few nights ago he sprayed some in his mouth and within a few minutes his throat constricted, he kept coughing and choking and I almost had to take him to the hospital. He drank some water and then took 2 antihistamines which seemed to help. He complained of a cough and soreness in throat for a couple of days after. He is better now."

Salivart (saliva substitutes) for Xerostomia "Probably the closest to real saliva. No nasty after taste, very liquid, pressurized spray can. ONLY negative is availability. Not many stores/pharmacies carry this. Trying company web site and ebay & Amazon"

XyliMelts (saliva substitutes) for Xerostomia "I’ve been using it for about three years, for a dry mouth at night, ever since getting a CPAP machine. Usually use one a night and I put the tablet in a different location of my mouth each night. Have had great success with them and no side effects. I’d recommend that people try them to see if it works as well for them."

XyliMelts (saliva substitutes) for Xerostomia "I thought they were great at first but my tongue would be extra sensitive after using them. I stopped after a week or so but my dry mouth kept me up all night recently so last night I used another one. Today my tongue has little sores all over it and it hurts to eat. I won't be using these again."
