 Relieves dry mouth due to medication April 16, 2010
C. G. King (Horse Country, VA USA)

My mouth got so dry at night it actually woke me up. My dentist told me it was important to have moisture in my mouth to reduce decay and recommended Biotene toothpaste, but neither that nor the mouthwash helped night dryness caused by the HCTZ I take. While I like several things about the toothpaste and mouthwash, I needed something extra and found this product does the trick. This is a small tube and with the recommended dose would be gone pretty fast making it an expensive solution, but I use only a fraction of what they suggest and find it works just fine. As a result, the tube lasts and I am not bothered at night by a super dry mouth.
After brushing before bed, while my mouth is still moist from that, I use less than 1/4" of gel and smooth it around with my tongue. It's great to get that needed relief. I've also found that brushing my teeth after dinner, thus allowing longer before bedtime for natural saliva recovery, helps with the nighttime dryness (also keeps me from snacking at night :). Then I just use this product before retiring. Highly recommended.
 The Biotene gel is just too thick to spread well! March 21, 2010

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.

As a dry mouth sufferer I have found this Biotene Oral Balance Gel to have good results. The product is rather pricey, even in quantity, but is worth the cost for the relief at night it affords.
Very good product but expensive July 22, 2009

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.
Not too bad tasting May 5, 2009

This product is great for Sjogren's sufferers with severe dry mouth. It is not the best tasting but it is better than the competition, and keeps your mouth moist. I will say that it is not very long lasting though, as I tend to swallow most of it within 15-30 minutes.
