ICPA introduces 'Wet Mouth' - Saliva Substitute For Individuals Suffering From Dry Mouth

Dry mouth can cause difficulties in performing essential life activities such as tasting, chewing, swallowing and speaking. From the oral health point of view, it can increase the risk of developing cavities, tooth sensitivity, oral infections, and mouth sores. Dry mouth is found more commonly among older individuals due to a greater prevalence of medical conditions such as diabetes mellitus and many autoimmune diseases. Also, more than a hundred medications and cancer therapy are associated with salivary gland dysfunction leading to dry mouth. Xerostomia or dry mouth affects approximately 22 percent of the global population.

Regular use of Wet Mouth keeps the oral mucosa moist and lubricated. It reduces surface abrasion which helps patients eat, swallow and speak comfortably. Every 5 ml of Wet Mouth contains Sodium Carboxymethyl cellulose 0.5% w/v, Glycerine 30% w/v.
