What Biotène® Is and How It Works
Biotène® Fresh Mint Toothpaste is a fluoride toothpaste designed to help relieve dry mouth while protecting teeth against cavities. It is available from Canada with US delivery from Canada, giving you access to Canadian pricing. This page explains how it works, who it suits, and how to order, including options if you shop without insurance.
At CanadianInsulin, orders are filled by licensed Canadian pharmacies after we confirm a valid prescription with your clinic.
Dry mouth, also called xerostomia, can result from medicines, health conditions, or aging. When saliva is low, acid and bacteria are harder to control, increasing the risk of tooth decay and gum problems. This toothpaste supports everyday oral care by combining cavity protection from fluoride with a gentle formula that helps moisturize and soothe a dry-feeling mouth. Regular use helps maintain a cleaner mouth, fresher breath, and enamel protection.
The formula is made for frequent use. It cleans away plaque and food debris and leaves a fresh mint taste. Consistent brushing supports saliva’s natural functions by reducing the acid challenge on teeth and helping you keep a comfortable oral environment throughout the day.
Who Biotène® Is For
This toothpaste is intended for adults and adolescents who want a daily toothpaste that supports relief from dry mouth symptoms and protects against cavities. It is useful for people with medication-related dry mouth, those living with chronic conditions associated with reduced saliva, and those who experience mouth dryness upon waking or at night.
It may not be suitable if you have known allergies to any toothpaste ingredients or flavorings. Children under 6 years should use a pea-sized amount and be supervised to minimize swallowing. If you have ongoing mouth or gum pain, oral lesions, or a sudden change in taste or smell, speak with a dentist or clinician before use.
Dosage and Usage
Use this product as you would a standard fluoride toothpaste unless your dentist provides different directions. General guidance includes:
- Brush thoroughly for two minutes, at least twice daily.
- Brush after meals when possible, especially before bed.
- Spit out the paste. Do not swallow.
- For children under 6 years, use a pea-sized amount and supervise brushing.
- Floss daily and follow your dentist’s oral care plan.
If dry mouth symptoms are strongest overnight, include an evening brush and avoid food or drinks with sugar or acid before bed. If you use other Biotène products, you can pair them around your brushing routine as directed on their labels.
Strengths and Forms
Biotène Fresh Mint Toothpaste is generally offered in convenient tubes suitable for home and travel. Availability may vary:
- Tube: approximately 100 mL (about 4.3 oz)
- Flavor: Fresh Mint
- Type: Fluoride toothpaste for cavity protection
Check current stock for specific tube sizes and packaging options.
Missed Dose and Timing
If you miss a brushing, brush as soon as you remember that day. Space your brushing to avoid over-brushing sensitive gums. If you have recently consumed acidic foods or drinks, wait a short time before brushing to reduce enamel wear risk. Keep a routine of morning and bedtime brushing for best results.
Storage and Travel Basics
Store the tube at room temperature with the cap closed. Keep it away from excessive heat or direct sun. Do not freeze. When traveling, place the tube in a sealable bag to prevent mess and pack it within reach for your carry-on or overnight kit. Keep all dental products out of the reach of young children.
Benefits
- Relieves dry mouth discomfort while you brush.
- Fluoride helps strengthen enamel and protect against cavities.
- Fresh mint flavor supports clean breath.
- Gentle daily formula for routine use.
- Supports plaque removal and overall oral hygiene.
- Pairs well with other dry mouth products as part of a complete routine.
Side Effects and Safety
- Mild mouth or gum irritation.

Stop use and see a clinician if you develop mouth swelling, hives, rash, or persistent irritation. Avoid swallowing large amounts. If a child swallows more than used for brushing, get medical help or contact a poison control center.
Drug Interactions and Cautions
Topical toothpaste interactions are uncommon. Still, consider these points:
- If your dentist prescribes a specific fluoride or medicated oral product, follow their schedule.
- Avoid immediate brushing after very acidic foods or drinks; allow time for saliva to buffer.
- If you have ongoing mouth sores, severe gum disease, or recent oral surgery, ask your dentist before use.
- Check the ingredient list if you have sensitivities to flavors, preservatives, or other components.

What to Expect Over Time
Relief is often noticeable during and after brushing as your mouth feels cleaner and more comfortable. With regular twice-daily use, fluoride helps protect enamel, and a steady routine supports better breath and plaque control. Dry mouth can vary by time of day, medicines, and hydration, so your comfort may also vary.
For persistent symptoms, many people combine a dry mouth toothpaste with a moisturizing gel or rinse used between brushes. See the alternatives below for options that complement a daily toothpaste routine.
Compare With Alternatives
For targeted moisture between brushes, consider Biotène® Oral Balance Gel. If you prefer a rinse to refresh during the day, look at Biotène® Mouth Wash. A moisturizing mouth spray is another portable option for quick comfort when brushing is not practical.
