Xerostom Dry Mouth Pastilles with Saliactive 30 Pack – Sugar-Free Relief & Hydration for Dry Mouth (Xerostomia)

Xerostom Dry Mouth Pastilles use the patented Saliactive® technology — a unique combination of olive oil, betaine, and xylitol that stimulates saliva production, lubricates the oral mucosa, and provides lasting hydration for people suffering from dry mouth (xerostomia). Unlike water or simple lozenges, Saliactive recreates the protective and lubricating functions of natural saliva — relieving the burning, discomfort, difficulty swallowing, and altered taste associated with insufficient saliva. Sugar-free and safe for dental health.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes dry mouth (xerostomia)?

Dry mouth is most commonly caused by medications (antidepressants, antihistamines, blood pressure drugs — over 400 medications list dry mouth as a side effect), radiation therapy to the head and neck (which damages salivary glands), autoimmune conditions (Sjögren's syndrome), diabetes, ageing, mouth breathing, and anxiety. It significantly affects quality of life and oral health.

Why is insufficient saliva a problem for oral health?

Saliva is not just moisture — it contains enzymes, antibodies, and minerals that protect teeth from decay, neutralise acids, and maintain the oral microbiome. Without adequate saliva, tooth decay accelerates dramatically, gum disease risk increases, oral thrush is more common, and eating and speaking become uncomfortable.

How do Xerostom Pastilles differ from drinking water?

Water provides temporary moisture but doesn't replicate saliva's protective and lubricating functions. Saliactive® technology provides lasting oral lubrication from olive oil (which coats and protects the mucosa), betaine (which attracts and retains water molecules in oral tissues), and xylitol (which inhibits cavity-causing bacteria). The effect lasts significantly longer than water.

Can Xerostom Pastilles be used during radiation therapy?

Yes. Xerostom products are specifically designed for radiation-induced dry mouth (one of the most severe forms of xerostomia) and are widely used in oncology settings. They are safe to use before, during, and after radiation treatment. Check with your radiation oncologist about use during treatment.

How many Xerostom Pastilles should I use per day?

Use as often as needed for relief — most people find 4–8 pastilles per day sufficient depending on the severity of dry mouth. Allow the pastille to dissolve slowly in the mouth for maximum Saliactive® contact time with oral tissues.
