Mouth Health

[Guest guest]

I ran across these recommendations when looking for approved supplements and

care products for Canadian renal patients (my mother has kidney failure and

is on dialysis).

LONDON DRUGS PHARMACY

Biotene Toothpaste:

This toothpaste contains three natural enzymes that boost and replenish your

saliva's own defenses. This toothpaste has been clinically proven to prevent

the buildup of harmful bacteria linked with causing gingivitis and mouth

irritations. Biotene toothpaste can also help to heal bleeding gums and

decrease inflammation. It costs $9.09/tube.

Biotene Dry Mouth Gum:

While relieving dry mouth, Biotene gum works to fight bad breath and reduce

plaque and mouth sugars between brushings. It will not stick to your

dentures and is sugar free (it's naturally sweetened with Xylitol) and is

$4.49 for 16 pieces.

Biotene Gentle Antibacterial Mouthwash:

Biotene mouthwash contains the same three enzymes used in the tooth-paste to

help kill bacteria. It acts quickly to stop bad breath and promotes gum

health without the use of detergents, strong flavors, alcohol or hydrogen

peroxide and it sells for $11.49/474mL bottle.

Oralbalance Long-Lasting Moisturizing Gel:

Oralbalance gel can be applied to soothe and protect the gums from minor

irritations, itching and burning sensations. The gel has a non-drying

formula that provides patients who breathe through their mouth up to 8 hours

of comfort. It also helps to destroy bad breath, promote gum healing and

even improves retention under your dentures! $9.89/tube.
