Oral Care Solutions for Dry Mouth Symptoms

Dry mouth is categorized by a cotton-like feeling, leaving you parched, suffering from bad breath, and a noticeable lack of saliva production. If you’re prone to symptoms of dry mouth or are taking a medication that causes dry mouth, then it’s best to avoid brushing your teeth with a toothpaste containing too much Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). The ingredient is optimal for gum health; however, it can dry out the mouth and lead to canker sores. Instead, look for a toothpaste alternative that contains a lower volume of the ingredient but is still tough on cavities and plaque.

Fluoride-infused toothpastes are best for oral health as the ingredient is known to curb tooth decay. Additionally, stannous fluoride toothpastes help with sensitivity, enamel repair, and plaque removal.

Oral Care Solutions for Dry Mouth Symptoms

If your dry mouth is accompanied by bad breath, try brushing with Crest Complete Plus Scope Toothpaste for instant freshness. The unique formula eliminates bad breath germs for an instant clean.

If you’re looking to add more moisture into your oral care routine, try a rinse that’s free of alcohol since the ingredient can further dry out your mouth. Crest Pro-Health Multi-Protection Mouthwash can help keep gums healthy, teeth strong, and your mouth feeling fresh.

Without a proper oral care routine, dry mouth can significantly increase your risk of gum disease and tooth decay. So, no matter which toothpaste or mouthwash you choose to use, be sure to brush your teeth at least twice a day, floss once a day, and see your dental professional twice a year to keep your oral hygiene in check.
