Product Reviews of Biotene Dry Mouth Relief Moisturizing Gel - 1.5 oz
Product Review: The Active Enzymes Make the Difference
Summary: 5 Stars
I take medications that make my mouth dry and this product works like a dream during the day and at night while I'm asleep--no more waking up with bad breath! MUCH better than competing products by orajel. Tastes great too! Was turned onto it by my dentist.Product Review: The Biotene gel is just too thick to spread well!
Summary: 2 Stars
That's the long and the short of it. It's so thick that it doesn't go into the nooks and crannies. I much prefer the Biotene LIQUID, which is easier to get it to cover where it's needed. Biotene does make good products. My dry mouth is the result of radiation treatment. I do notice that both the spray and liquid tend to make me hoarse.Product Review: Very good product but expensive
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm on my second tube of Biotene OralBlance Gel. I have used it for about 3 weeks. My problem is I have dry mouth, but only at night. For the past couple of years, I've had bad dental checkups resulting in high dental bills. My dental hygenist finally diagnosed the high cavity rate as likely caused by my nightly dry mouth problem. The Biotene OralBalance Gel works and lasts all night, but needs to be applied fairly heavy to do so. Since it only comes in a 1.5 oz tubes, a tube goes pretty fast, and it's expensive. I get about 10-12 days out of a tube. A tube costs $6 - $12 depending upon where you buy it (including shipping, tax etc.). I've read reviews about other products ONLINE and have ordered another product in an effort to get a cheaper solution to night time dry mouth. OraHealth Xylitol Time Release Dome Mints come in boxes of 60 tablets and get good reviews (like this product) ONLINE. Even if two tablets are needed per night, they turn out to be cheaper than the Biotene Oral balance Gel in 1.5 Oz tubes. I'll update this review when I see how those work.
Update (08/20/09):
I've now been using OraHealth Xylitol Time Release Dome Mints to control my nighttime dry mouth for about a month. I find them to be as effective as Biotene OraBalance Gel but at a savings of more than half when Biotene OralBalance is only available in 1.5 ounce tubes. This Biotene product needs to be packaged in a more economicle size.
Product Review: absolutely a lifesaver
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using this product for about 8 years now. It is absolutely a lifesaver for me. Due to radiation treatments for head and neck cancer, my saliva glands do not work. At first I had to drink water constantly and it didn't help at all. I always felt like my throat was going to close up, especially at night. Dry mouth hurts. But since I discovered this Biotene gel, I can talk, eat, sleep at night, and feel relatively normal. A little bit in my mouth lasts a long time. A little bit in the mouth, let it melt and you will feel like you have saliva again. There is hardly any taste to it at all. I carry it with me constantly. I am convinced I could not get by without it. I highly recommend it to anyone with dry mouth for any reason!
