Regular Retail: $9.49The Gentle Mouthwash that Kills Germs. Clinically, Allergy and Hospital Tested. Cleans and refreshes without burning: Imagine a mouthwash with a soft, gentle feel containing a strong antibacterial system. A mouthwash that instead of irritating tender tissues, positively contributes to their health. That mouthwash is Biotene. Only Biotene contains four antibacterial enzymes which boost the defense system in your saliva. Together, they help protect your teeth and gums - especially in individuals experiencing dry mouth or having oral irritations.
I have been a dental hygienist for five years. I currently work in a state institution that houses' moderate to severely mentally retarded adults. The individuals who live here require constant care from staff. Many of our clients are either on medications that cause mouth (usually more than one), or their specific condition causes dry mouth. Along with the dry mouth symptoms, the clients exhibit moderate to severe gingivitis, bad mouth odor, difficulty eating, and swallowing, and numerous other symptoms related to xerostomia. I keep many of our clients on a constant routine of Biotene toothpaste and Oral Balance Gel. Biotene has proven to significantly decrease the amount of gingival bleeding in our clients, and the mouth odor. Oral balance applied before meals has improved the clients eating habits and eased their swallowing difficulties.
I would and have recommended Biotene and Oral balance to anyone including; elderly people (my diabetic grandmother) on medications, cancer patients ( my aunt who just completed chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer), along with anyone else who deals with oral care of mentally handicapped individuals. These products have never failed to work for me.

I have taken care of her a great deal of the time during approximately 8 1⁄2 months. Carolyn has suffered unbearable pain, even though she takes meticulous care of her mouth. I have prepared special soups and foods for her to eat, because of her slits and open sores from yeast infection that plagued her mouth. In one of her six hospitalization in 1996, a friend and myself were unable to reach her one night. I called and found out from the charge nurse that Carolyn was crouched in the restroom in severe pain with her mouth and could not<
