Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my mouth dry all the time?
Dry mouth can have many causes. Common ones include medication side effects, dehydration, stress, certain health conditions, and cancer treatments that affect saliva production. Dry mouth is not simply a normal part of getting older.
If your dryness is new, persistent, or getting worse, talk with your dentist or doctor. They can help you understand what may be causing it and recommend the right next step.
Which PerioSciences dry mouth product is right for me?
Many customers combine daily and on-the-go products to create a routine that works from morning to night.
Hydrating Toothpaste is an easy place to begin for everyday brushing. Moisyn® Oral Rinse and Hydrating Mouthwash add moisture and comfort to your daily routine, while Moisyn® Oral Mist offers convenient refreshment whenever you need it.
For more focused care, AO ProVantage Gel can be applied directly to the gums and other oral tissues––available in two sizes.
Are these dry mouth products clinically proven to help?
Moisyn® has been clinically studied for dry mouth comfort. Clinical performance data support moisturizing and lubricating relief for up to six hours.
The other products in this collection are thoughtfully formulated with ingredients selected to support a more comfortable dry mouth routine. Visit the individual product pages for specific ingredients, benefits, and directions.
How long does the relief actually last?
Patients have reported up to 6 hours of relief. Use Moisyn® Oral Rinse and Moisyn® Oral Mist together throughout the day for optimal comfort.
Can I use these dry mouth products together?
Absolutely. They can be used as complementary parts of your routine and are actually more effective when paired. Brush with Hydrating Toothpaste, then use Moisyn® Oral Rinse or Hydrating Mouthwash as directed. Apply AO ProVantage Gel after brushing for focused care, and use Moisyn® Oral Mist whenever you want added refreshment throughout the day.
Always follow the directions provided with each product.
Is there a toothpaste for dry mouth I can use at night?
Yes. Hydrating Toothpaste gently cleans without commonly used harsh ingredients, while leaving your mouth feeling hydrated, making it a comfortable choice for twice-daily brushing—especially before bed.
Can I use these dry mouth products with my medications?
Because medications and individual health needs vary, check with your dentist, doctor, or pharmacist if you’re unsure whether a product is right for you. Do not stop or change a prescription because it causes dry mouth without first speaking with your prescriber.
Please note that Moisyn® contains shellfish derivatives, so review its allergen information before use.
Do you offer a sample kit I can try first?
While we don’t offer sample kits, our On-the-Go AO ProVantage Gel comes in a compact, travel-friendly size, making it an easy way to try our antioxidant formula.
