Periogold Xerost Drinkable Dry Mouth Therapy 250ml | Salivary Gland Dysfunction | EMIS+

🔬 THE BIOLOGY OF SALIVARY DYSFUNCTION

Human saliva is a highly complex, bioactive fluid. It provides continuous mechanical lavage, flushes cellular debris, and actively buffers acidic pH shifts to protect dental enamel. When major salivary glands become functionally compromised—often secondary to polypharmacy, autoimmune conditions, or localized radiation—the resulting chronic dryness is termed xerostomia.

Without the protective glycoprotein barrier provided by natural saliva, the squamous epithelium of the oral cavity becomes highly susceptible to micro-abrasions, mechanical trauma, and opportunistic fungal infections (such as oral candidiasis). The absence of continuous pH-buffering also accelerates enamel demineralization.

Key Features

• Biomimetic formulation — mirrors the viscosity and flow of natural saliva for lasting adhesion, unlike plain water which gives only transient relief.
• Lubricating agents physically coat the oral mucosa, reducing friction and easing dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) and dysarthria (speech difficulty).
• Humectant compounds draw and lock moisture onto the cellular surface, sustaining a hydrated micro-environment for longer.
• Drinkable format — safe if ingested, simultaneously lubricating the upper oral cavity and lower pharyngeal tract.
• 250ml bottle for symptomatic management of chronic xerostomia and oral mucosal protection.

How to Use

Swish the fluid throughout the mouth for 15 to 30 seconds before swallowing to ensure comprehensive coating across the buccal mucosa (inner cheeks) and sublingual area. Use metered volumes regularly through the day and immediately before sleep, when natural salivary flow naturally decreases.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes chronic dry mouth (xerostomia)?
Common causes in Singapore include medication side effects (polypharmacy), autoimmune conditions such as Sjögren's syndrome, diabetes, and head-and-neck radiotherapy. A doctor or dentist can identify the underlying cause.

How is Periogold Xerost different from drinking water?
Water evaporates and washes away quickly. Periogold Xerost has the molecular viscosity to adhere to oral tissues and retain moisture, giving longer-lasting comfort.

How often should I use it?
Use it regularly through the day and before sleep. Consistent mucosal coating is what maintains relief. Follow the product label and any advice from your healthcare provider.

Is it safe to swallow?
Yes — it is formulated as a drinkable therapy and is designed to be safe if ingested. If you have swallowing difficulties or other medical concerns, consult your doctor or pharmacist first.

Can it replace treatment for the cause of my dry mouth?
No. It manages symptoms only. Chronic or severe xerostomia should be formally assessed by your doctor, dentist, or pharmacist to identify and treat any underlying condition.
