Dry mouth (xerostomia) is caused by salivary gland dysfunction.
Normal average saliva production in adults is 0,25-0,35 ml/min.
Reduced salivation decreases tooth remineralisation, causing loss of important minerals such as calcium and phosphorus from enamel. This weakens teeth’s protection against decay, as saliva provides the natural defence mechanism; insufficient saliva reduces neutralisation of food debris and acids.
The absence of this natural defence mechanism creates favourable, unhindered conditions for plaque bacteria to multiply. Insufficient saliva inevitably causes enamel damage and decay.
miradent Aquamed® lozenges were specially developed with dental experts to meet the needs of people with xerostomia. Alongside the beneficial enzyme lysozyme, the formula contains calcium lactate to support enamel remineralisation.
Aquamed® dry-mouth lozenges are sweetened with 100% natural xylitol, well known for decay prevention through its action on bacteria responsible for harmful acid production.
