Biotene

Biotène is a leading oral care brand specialised in relieving dry mouth (xerostomia) and supporting a healthier oral environment. Its mouthwashes, gels, sprays and toothpastes are formulated to soothe, moisturise and protect delicate oral tissues. On Welzo, Biotène products sit within our wider Oral Care Products & Mouth Care Essentials range, giving customers targeted options for dry mouth relief and everyday dental hygiene.

What Is Biotène?

Biotène is an oral care system designed specifically for people with reduced saliva flow due to medications, health conditions or lifestyle factors. Its formulations are typically alcohol-free, gentle on the oral mucosa and created to help mimic some of the protective functions of natural saliva. This can be particularly helpful for users who also shop within categories such as oral toothache pain relief to maintain comfort and oral function.

Key Benefits & Features of the Biotène Range

• Targeted dry mouth relief: Biotène products help to moisturise and lubricate the mouth, reducing the feeling of dryness and discomfort.
• Gentle, low-irritant formulas: Alcohol-free and often mild in flavour, they are suitable for sensitive mouths and those with irritated tissues.
• Supports oral health: By helping maintain moisture and pH balance, Biotène can support a healthier environment for teeth and gums.
• Multiple formats: Mouthwash, gel, spray and toothpaste options allow users to build a tailored dry-mouth routine.
• Compatible with daily oral care: Biotène can sit alongside standard mouthwashes such as those in our mouthwash collection for a complete regimen.

Why Biotène Is Important for Dry Mouth & Oral Hygiene

Saliva protects teeth and gums, helps neutralise acids and supports remineralisation of enamel. When saliva flow is reduced, people may experience burning sensations, difficulty speaking or swallowing, bad breath and an increased risk of dental decay. Biotène helps bridge this gap by providing additional moisture and lubrication.

For many patients, Biotène sits alongside other specialist oral products such as sensitive toothpastes in ranges similar to sensodyne or therapeutic mouthwashes in collections like Dentyl to build a comprehensive oral care plan.

How to Use Biotène Products

1. Mouthwash: Rinse with Biotène mouthwash 2–3 times daily, especially after brushing, to hydrate the oral tissues and freshen breath.
2. Gel: Apply a small amount of Biotène gel directly onto the gums, tongue or inside of the cheeks, particularly before bed for overnight comfort.
3. Spray: Use the Biotène spray as often as needed during the day for on-the-go dry mouth relief.
4. Toothpaste: Use Biotène toothpaste twice daily to support enamel and gum health in the context of low saliva.
5. Combine with good hygiene: Maintain regular brushing, flossing and dental check-ups, along with other oral care solutions from collections like Colgate for a robust routine.

Expert Insight & Clinical Perspective

Clinicians recognise dry mouth as more than a minor inconvenience; it can significantly affect quality of life, sleep, speech and nutrition. In patients taking multiple medications, undergoing cancer therapy or living with autoimmune conditions, saliva support is often a key part of oral health management.

Professional guidance typically focuses on three pillars: identifying reversible causes, maintaining rigorous daily oral hygiene and using specialised products like Biotène for symptom control. Many dental professionals recommend saliva-substitute products to help maintain comfort, support pH balance and protect soft tissues when natural saliva is compromised.

Biotène FAQs

Who is Biotène suitable for?

Biotène is suitable for adults and older children who experience symptoms of dry mouth, such as difficulty swallowing, talking, or persistent oral dryness. People on multiple medications or with chronic conditions often benefit from its moisturising action.

Can Biotène help prevent dental decay?

Biotène cannot replace natural saliva, but by helping to maintain moisture and a healthier oral environment, it can assist in protecting teeth and gums when used alongside a fluoride toothpaste and regular dental care.

How often can I use Biotène mouthwash, gel or spray?

Biotène products can generally be used several times a day, as needed for symptom relief. Always follow the instructions on the product packaging and consult a dentist or doctor if you need long-term continuous use.

Is Biotène safe to use with dentures or orthodontic appliances?

Yes, Biotène is typically compatible with dentures and braces. Mouthwash and spray can be used as normal, and gel can be applied carefully to avoid dislodging appliances.

Does Biotène contain alcohol?

Biotène mouthwashes are usually alcohol-free, which helps minimise stinging or irritation in sensitive, dry tissues.

Can Biotène cure the underlying cause of dry mouth?

No. Biotène is designed to relieve symptoms and support oral health, but it does not treat the underlying cause. A medical or dental professional should investigate persistent or severe dry mouth.

How long does it take to feel relief after using Biotène?

Many users notice an immediate soothing and lubricating effect after rinsing, applying gel or using the spray. For best results, regular use is recommended as part of a daily routine.

Can I use Biotène alongside standard toothpastes and mouthwashes?

Yes. Many people build a routine using Biotène together with other products from categories such as mouthwash and Colgate or sensodyne toothpastes, depending on their individual needs and professional advice.

Is Biotène suitable for night-time use?

Biotène gel is particularly useful at night because of its thicker texture, which can adhere to oral tissues and provide longer-lasting moisture while you sleep.

When should I seek professional help for dry mouth?

If dry mouth persists for more than a few weeks, is severe, or is accompanied by other symptoms such as oral ulcers, difficulty swallowing or changes in taste, you should consult a dentist or a doctor for further assessment.
