Frequently Asked Questions

Learn more about Moistir — a non-therapeutic, water-soluble saliva supplement, intended to provide relief from dry mouth conditions.

How does Moistir work?

Moistir is formulated to mimic the properties of natural saliva, providing soothing relief and protection for dry, vulnerable oral tissues.

 

  • Hydrates Oral Tissues: Replenishes moisture to prevent cracks, soreness, and inflammation.
  • Protects Against Infection: Prevents fissures caused by dryness, reducing the risk of microbial infections.
  • Supports Tissue Flexibility: Helps restore comfort to inflexible mucosa, enhancing overall patient well-being.
  • Facilitates Denture Retention: Improves suction and adhesion for denture wearers, which improves communication and nutrition.
  • Minimizes Drying Effects: Mitigates the discomfort caused by mouth breathing or hospital stressors.
What are the causes of dry mouth (xerostomia)?
Patients facing various medical treatments or conditions often experience dry mouth. Healthy people can also experience dry mouth from routine activities. Moistir is especially effective in these scenarios:

  • Cancer Treatments: Radiation or chemotherapy often inhibit saliva production.
  • Hospital Stressors: Anesthesia, intubation, oxygen therapy, and NPO protocols dry out oral tissues.
  • Medication Side Effects: More than 500 commonly prescribed drugs list dry mouth as a side effect.1
  • Autoimmune Disorders: Conditions such as Sjögren’s syndrome often cause chronic xerostomia.
  • Exertion from running, biking, exercising, sports can cause “cotton mouth”
  • Extensive speaking
