Best Dry Mouth Lozenges for Nighttime Relief
Dry Mouth, also known as xerostomia, happens when the salivary glands don’t produce enough moisture to keep your mouth comfortably wet. Symptoms may include a sticky or dry feeling, thick saliva, sore throat, hoarseness, or constant thirst.
At night, saliva production naturally decreases, making Dry Mouth even more noticeable. Common triggers include breathing through your mouth while sleeping, snoring, or using a CPAP mask. Without adequate saliva, your mouth can feel uncomfortably dry, and your oral health may be at risk.
Why Should I Worry About Dry Mouth?
Saliva isn’t just for comfort, it plays a key role in keeping your mouth healthy. It washes away food particles, neutralizes acids, and helps prevent bacteria from multiplying. Without it, Dry Mouth can lead to bad breath, a white-coated tongue, or more serious dental problems like gingivitis, periodontitis, or oral thrush.
Beyond dental issues, waking up with Dry Mouth can also disrupt your sleep, leaving you tired and uncomfortable the next day. That’s why finding an effective Dry Mouth treatment is so important.
Benefits of Lozenges for Dry Mouth Relief
One of the simplest ways to manage Dry Mouth at night is with lozenges. Unlike sprays or rinses that provide short-term comfort, lozenges dissolve slowly in your mouth and stimulate natural saliva production.
By keeping your mouth moist, lozenges ease that sticky, uncomfortable feeling and help with overall oral hydration. They’re also discreet, easy to use, and provide steady relief while you sleep. For many people, Dry Mouth lozenges are the most convenient way to find nighttime comfort.
Why OraCoat® XyliMelts® Dry Mouth Lozenges Stand Out
Xylitol for Oral Health
OraCoat® XyliMelts® contain xylitol, a natural, sugar-free sweetener that helps prevent harmful bacteria from feeding on sugars and producing plaque. Held in the mouth, xylitol also stimulates saliva flow, reducing the risks of tooth decay and gum disease.
Each XyliMelts® lozenge slowly releases 550mg of xylitol, moisturizing your mouth while freshening breath. Because they dissolve gradually, you get consistent Dry Mouth relief without needing to consume large amounts of xylitol all at once.
Long-Lasting Nighttime Relief
What makes OraCoat® XyliMelts® especially effective is their slow-dissolving formula. They last for 4 to 8 hours, ensuring that you stay comfortable through the night when saliva flow is at its lowest.
Thanks to unique stick-on™ melts technology, XyliMelts® adhere to your gum line, where they continuously release soothing lubricants. This coating action helps prevent nighttime dryness, so you can sleep without that constant urge to sip water.
Backed by Science
OraCoat® XyliMelts® are formulated based on careful medical research. They are pH buffered to 8, the optimal range for oral health, helping to neutralize acids in the mouth that can weaken enamel and encourage bacteria growth.
They are also the only adhering Dry Mouth lozenges clinically designed for nighttime use, making them a unique and effective solution compared to other Dry Mouth treatments.
When to See a Doctor
While Dry Mouth is common, persistent symptoms should not be ignored. If you notice:
- Severe or worsening Dry Mouth at night
- Pain, burning, or soreness in the mouth
- Frequent cavities or gum irritation
- Thick, sticky saliva that doesn’t improve with lozenges
…it’s best to see a doctor or dentist. Sometimes Dry Mouth can be linked to medications, medical treatments, or conditions like Sjögren’s syndrome that need professional care.
Living with Dry Mouth, especially at night, can disrupt sleep and harm your oral health. Lozenges are a simple, effective way to keep your mouth hydrated, and among them, OraCoat® XyliMelts® stand out for their unique design, long-lasting formula, and science-backed ingredients.
