Biotène® Mouthwash for Dry Mouth

An alcohol-free oral rinse made to relieve dryness and irritation. It supports comfortable speaking, eating, and oral hygiene. This page explains uses, sizes, and how to arrange US delivery from Canada, plus simple steps if you pay without insurance.

What Biotène Is and How It Works

Biotène® Dry Mouth Oral Rinse is designed to soothe and moisturize oral tissues when saliva is reduced. The formula uses humectants and lubricants to hold moisture on the mucosa. It is alcohol-free and formulated for a gentle feel.

Dry mouth, also called Dry Mouth or Xerostomia, can occur from medicines, health conditions, or dehydration. This rinse helps relieve the sticky, uncomfortable feeling that can affect speaking, chewing, and swallowing. It is not a cure for the underlying cause. Follow the product label for safe use.

Who It’s For

This rinse is intended for adults and adolescents ages 12 and up who experience mouth dryness. It may help those with dryness related to common medications, nighttime mouth breathing, or systemic conditions. Do not use if you have a known sensitivity to any ingredient. People with persistent mouth pain, mouth ulcers, suspected thrush, or bleeding gums should speak with a healthcare professional. Good oral hygiene, routine dental care, and evaluation for causes of dryness remain important. Gum concerns such as Gingivitis may need separate care.

Dosage and Usage

Adults and children 12 years and older: swish approximately 15 mL for 30 seconds to one minute, then spit. Use as needed, up to several times daily, including after meals and at bedtime. Do not swallow. For children under 12, use only as directed by a dentist or physician. Do not dilute. Avoid eating or drinking immediately after rinsing if the soothing effect is desired to last longer.

Many households keep a Dry Mouth Oral Rinse 16 oz bottle for regular use, and a smaller travel-size for on-the-go care. For daily routines, pair with gentle brushing and tongue cleaning. See more options within our Oral Care category.

Strengths and Forms

Availability may vary by location and supplier. Common presentations include alcohol-free, gentle mint-flavored rinses in multiple bottle sizes.

• Dry Mouth Mouthwash 473 mL for a balanced everyday size.
• Value-size bottles, often around 1 L (about 33.8 oz), for fewer refills at home.
• Compact bottles suitable for travel or desk use.
• Flavor variants may differ by market; most options are mild and low-irritant.

Some people prefer larger formats for shared households, while smaller bottles fit a gym bag or bedside caddy. Check the label for ingredients and flavor notes that fit sensitivity needs.

Missed Dose and Timing

This mouthwash is used as needed rather than on a fixed schedule. If a typical rinse is missed, simply resume when dryness returns. Many people rinse before bed and after meals. Maintain consistent brushing and flossing routines alongside the rinse for overall oral hygiene.

Storage and Travel Basics

Store tightly closed at room temperature. Keep the bottle upright and away from excess heat or freezing conditions. Protect from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children. When traveling, keep the original labeled container. For flights, place smaller bottles in carry-on bags, and pack larger ones in checked luggage to meet liquid rules. Secure caps to prevent leaks, and place bottles in a sealed pouch.

Side Effects and Safety

• Temporary taste changes.
• Mild tingling or sensitivity.
• Throat or oral irritation.
• Nausea if swallowed.

Serious reactions are uncommon. Stop use and consult a healthcare professional if swelling, rash, or persistent irritation occurs. Avoid use if allergic to any listed ingredient. Keep out of the reach of children. If a large amount is accidentally swallowed, seek medical help or contact a Poison Control Center.

Drug Interactions and Cautions

This rinse works locally in the mouth and is not meant to be swallowed. Drug interactions are unlikely due to minimal systemic exposure. Do not combine multiple mouthwashes in the same session unless instructed by a clinician. People with significant oral disease, severe mucositis, or recent oral surgery should ask a healthcare professional for guidance before use.

What to Expect Over Time

Relief may be felt shortly after rinsing, and comfort can vary with the cause of dryness. Many people use the rinse several times daily. Effectiveness depends on consistent use and broader hygiene habits. Address potential triggers, maintain hydration, and continue routine dental care.

Compare With Alternatives

Some prefer a gel for longer-lasting coating, especially overnight. Others like a pocket-size spray for quick daytime use. Consider these options we carry:

• Biotene Moisturizing Mouth Spray for portable symptom relief between brushings.
• Oral balance gel products for bedtime coverage and targeted dry areas.

Each option fits different routines. Choose a format that matches home, work, and travel needs.

Patient Suitability and Cost-Saving Tips

This rinse may suit adults with mild to moderate dryness looking for a gentle daily option. People with active mouth infections or severe mucosal injury should seek clinical advice first. Consider larger bottles for shared households, or smaller bottles for travel kits. Ordering multi-month supplies can reduce repeat checkouts. Set reminder alerts for reorders to avoid running out at night. Keep a small bottle in a work bag or car for mid-day care.
