Recommendations:

Biotene is the only toothpaste in the world that works like the body’s natural defenses to fight cavities, periodontal disease and oral infections due to Dry Mouth.

 

Description:

Biotène contains three primary enzymes – Glucose Oxidase, Lactoperoxidase, and Lysozyme, which are carefully balanced for a special function in boosting and replenishing saliva’s own defenses. When used daily, Biotène reduces harmful bacteria, but leaves beneficial bacteria necessary for healthy teeth and oral tissues.

 

How to Use:

Use in place of your regular toothpaste. Rinse toothbrush in water before applying Biotène. Brush for two minutes, rinse lightly. For best results, use first thing in the morning, after eating, and at bedtime. It is important not to skip brushing because the enzymes in Biotène can fully help give your mouth a healthy balance of bacteria.

 

No Sodium Lauryl Sulfate:

  • Recent reports suggest that some people get fewer canker sores when they switch to a toothpaste that doesn’t contain sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS).
  • Researchers speculate that SLS dries out the protective mucous lining in the mouth…making it vulnerable to irritants that lead to canker sores.
  • SLS is a detergent that is in almost all toothpastes, dishwashing soaps and body washes.
  • Adults & children prone to canker sores should try an SLS-free toothpaste.

 

Salivary antibacterial enzymes:

Biotène & Oralbalance Contain The Lactoperoxidase Enzyme System

The Mouth’s naturally occurring protective system comes from three pairs of salivary glands. When, for any reason, the amount of saliva is disrupted, this important antibacterial defense system is lost.

Only Biotène patented salivary enzyme products are capable of protecting the mouth the same way in which saliva does!

The doctor or dentist might suggest which products to use depending upon what is causing Dry Mouth.

 

Why Xylitol?

  • Xylitol is a naturally occurring sweetener found in berries, fruits and mushrooms. It also occurs in small quantities in the human body.
  • It is the natural sweetener used in First Teeth.
  • In inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria (because bacteria can not use it to grow and metabolize).
  • It does not promote dental decay.
  • There is evidence to suggest that it prevents the effects of pathogenic bacteria in the oral cavity and throat.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I see positive results from Biotène Toothpaste?  

You should see results immediately – depending on the severity of your dry mouth condition it may take up to ten days.

Can anyone use Biotène Toothpaste, even if they don’t have Dry Mouth?  

Absolutely. Biotène’s natural enzymes are normally found in saliva and are essential in preventing cavities and gingivitis while promoting a healthy oral flora.

Why doesn’t Biotène foam up like other toothpaste? 

Unlike most other toothpastes, Biotène is made extra gentle and without Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, a harsh detergent, which can cause canker sores.

Biotène Toothpaste contains an ingredient called ‘Glucose Oxidase’. Is this a sugar?  

No, Glucose Oxidase is not a Sugar. It is an enzyme, which acts on the glucose (sugar) produced from food ingestion. This reaction helps to eliminate glucose from the  mouth.

Do I have to rinse after using Biotène Toothpaste?  

Yes. However, unlike other toothpaste, you need only rinse once after using Biotène. Biotène does contain fluoride, which is not recommended to swallow.

What Flavor is the Biotène Toothpaste?    

Biotène Toothpaste is flavored with Natural Wintergreen Mint.

Does the Biotène Toothpaste contain fluoride? 

Yes, biotène contains Sodium Monoflurophosphate.

Can I use the Biotène toothpaste with another mouthwash or another toothpaste other than Biotène? 

No! Due to the sensitive nature of the enzymes contained within our product, if you use Biotène mouthwash in conjunction with another mouthwash, the enzymes will be destroyed and the Biotène mouthwash will be ineffective. Using another mouthwash especially an alcohol based mouthwash in conjunction with Biotène toothpaste will destroy the enzymes in the toothpaste as well.
