If your mouth feels dry, it may seem like a natural response to drink more water. However, water does not perform in the same way as our natural saliva. Saliva does a lot more than just provide moisture; it also lubricates the insides of the mouth and teeth, which is key in relieving symptoms of dry mouth. Dry mouth is very rarely connected to being dehydrated so drinking a lot of water will only provide a temporary relief. Drinking too much water could, however, lead to other conditions such as hyponatremia, where the sodium in your blood is diluted and overwhelms the kidneys’ compensation mechanism. 

Oralieve Dry Mouth Relief products have been specially designed and tested with dry mouth sufferers to help supplement the natural protective enzyme system in saliva, providing effective and lasting relief for dry mouths. Unlike many other products, the Oralieve formulation is powered by a unique combination of bioactive ingredients including enzymes, lactoperoxidase and glucose oxidase which have been shown to help dry mouth. The enzyme system found in all Oralieve products helps supplement natural saliva to help protect oral tissues and promote a healthy mouth. All Oralieve products also contain xylitol, use mild flavours and contain no alcohol or SLS (ingredients which can irritate a dry mouth).
