Oracoat XyliMelts for Dry Mouth Night Time or Day - Moisturizing Dry Mouth Adhering Discs, Sugar Free with Xylitol, 40 Count, Slightly-Sweet Flavor, 8-Hour Relief

I used to wake all night because my mouth was so dry. I sleep mostly on my back so it seems inevitable that when I relax to sleep, my mouth falls open. When my husband woke and I had sometimes needed to speak, my mouth couldn't even form words. When I asked my dentist for suggestions, he told me about this product. I did some research online about the safety of Xylitol and discovered that it WAS safe, as he had said. There was a bit of a learning curve. I had some trouble with the tablets not staying in the place where I wanted it to be for the night. It always took a minute or two for it to adhere. Then I learned to take a drink and make sure to wet the gum area where I wanted it to say. It sticks much faster that way but I still hold it in place for 30 seconds or so, just to be sure. I feel the need to ask you NOT to give up! I feel like it took awhile but nowadays, I never wake for a drink...and I still sleep on my back most of the time. Amazon suggests ideas for me to discuss: Portability-These can go with you anywhere and I'm so happy to say that they're so easy to get out of the blister packs! And quiet, too! In an effort to keep them quiet while my husband is sleeping, I tear/cut apart the strips of five ahead of time. Then they're so quiet to push thru the thin foil backing when I'm ready! Taste: I started out with the minty ones but while the flavor was fine, I didn't like the coolness on my gums. Now, I use the Slightly Sweet and they're jussst right! ;) Oh, and did I mention that they last all night?

After years of my dentist judging my increasingly dry mouth (I cannot control who I am when I am asleep, lol), I finally tried a new product aside from Biotene gel and rinse (that doesn't do very much for me long term). I was a little nervous of having something in my mouth overnight but I was desperate because my dentist said the dry mouth is going to cause cavity issues in between my teeth because the saliva isn't helping to flush things out. These melts (sweet mint) actually worked. They were fully dissolved by then time I woke up about seven hours later. There was no residue left on my teeth or gums and both feel fine. I ACTUALLY was not dried out upon waking. To be fair, I also paired this with my first time trying breathe right nasal strips. So I do think my mouth stayed closed overnight much more. The box suggests two melts for overnight use but I'm curious if one will work because I'd like to stretch the box a little further. If it doesn't, I'll just go back to two. They do adhere easily inside the mouth and after a few minutes I barely noticed they were there! I think you can find the best place for your mouth, either further back or forward, and higher or lower from the gum line. I'm a side sleeper while I fall asleep and they didn't feel uncomfortable at all. As a bonus, my breath was actually fresher in the morning when I woke up! I always thought my morning breath was just the same as everyone's but I'm thinking mine was worse because of how dry my mouth gets. I'm planning on making these melts a part of my bedtime routine!

I pop one of these in at bedtime and it’s relatively comfortable. Nice mild mint flavor. Melts in about 4 hours, so I add a fresh one half way through the night if I happen to wake up.

Initially bought these for I131 treatment (radioactive iodine for thyroid ablation). They are really good, not too sweet. Getting them to adhere in the right place is a bit tricky. And they helped with the dry mouth that RAI treatment is known for. One issue - you can sleep while using these, but one night I woke up when I breathed in the shell that helps the melt stick to the gum/tooth! Big coughing fit. I am sure that shell typically stays in place and dissolves, but not this time. I haven't worn them while sleeping since, which is a bummer because that's when I need them most. However, I do recommend these for daytime help with dry mouth.

After having tried Biotene which made my mouth more dry I was skeptical this would work, but it did. I’m on CPAP and medications which dry my mouth out, and I had dry mouth even before the meds, so I have a super dry mouth with meds and CPAP. My mouth gets so dry it actually wakes me up during the night. During the day I carry water everywhere I go (even from one side of the house to the other). When I went to bed 1:00 AM I placed one on each side of my mouth. They have a mild pleasant taste, almost fruity. Initially I had a little difficulty making it stick but think I’ll get the hang of it after a few tries and I’ll know where to place it. After getting it properly placed I hardly knew they were there. At 6:00 AM there was a tiny piece left. I woke up and my first thought was my mouth isn’t dry! Normally I have to work my mouth for a while to get it lubricated after sleep. On top of that I’m getting a ton of cavities, and my dentist said they are growing unusually fast so she recommended this to me. They definitely work. I’m grateful to whoever developed this and to my dentist for recommending them. I wish they were a little cheaper so I felt like I could use them in the daytime as well. Or I do wish they lasted a little longer to make it all the way thru the night. I just feel like they could cost a little less to make them affordable for disabled and elderly. I’ll probably need 4 each night so that’s going to get expensive for me. Just thrilled to have found this tho! I’m writing this in hopes of helping others who may have given up on finding something that doesn’t dry them out more. Back in the 1970s Certs make a fruity breath freshener that was made with xylitol. It was discontinued at some point or at least I haven’t been able to find them anymore. I’ve often wished they would come back out bc xylitol is the only thing that has ever worked for me. Glad they’re making this. I hope they’re safe long term. I hear about so many people taking melatonin for sleep and doctors don’t tell you it’s unsafe and causes memory issues long term. So people do your own research on these things.

These were highly recommended for dry mouth. I found them to be ok. Did not irritate my gums. They somewhat stick. I did not feel they were extremely helpful. I think the Biotene spay gives instant relief. My throat gets dry and that helps me more.

I have Sjorgren Syndrome and would wake up several times at night because my mouth was so dry. Since I got the Oracoat I have not problems! One tablet inserted when I go to bed and good through the whole night. Great product.

Cannot live without these! I have been diagnosed with Dry Mouth which is a terrible experience. I'd wake up in the middle of the night with my mouth extremely dry, my teeth were dry (not good), my tongue feeling like sandpaper and sometimes my tongue stuck to the roof of my mouth. Again, my dentist shared this with me and oh what a difference it has made. I use a dry mouth toothpaste and mouth wash as well as these before going to bed. The instructions recommend putting a melt on each side of your mouth before going to bed; that's what I do. These help keep my mouth moist all night and my teeth are not dry (don't want that to happen - could ruin your teeth). It's time for me to reorder so I'll do that soon; I cannot live without these!

I like that they last longer to stop my dry mouth when I’m sleeping and awake than any other medication I’ve tried. They stay stuck to your gums wherever you put them. Worked so well I gave some to my nephew to try out. They have a very mild minty flavor. The tablet does not show a bump under your cheek even though it feels like it. The brown side sticks to your gum line and has a little concave shape to fit comfortably. Switch where you put it or can cause irritation just from the pressure from your cheek. Only downside is that one doesn’t last all night. If I didn’t have dogs I would keep one on my nightstand to add. But this product is so incredibly poisonous to dogs I won’t chance it.

This product might work for people who suffer from dry mouth. But if you have GERD, be sure that this will trigger heartburn and you will be belching all day.

These little discs absolutely have gone far beyond everything I’ve tried to date. I have Primary Sjogrens and as one of the symptoms… a dry mouth is no joke. I regularly use Biotene toothpaste, Biotene spray, Biotene mouth gel and Biotene mouth rinse, but I still had episodes of severe dry mouth…. No saliva, difficulty speaking and swallowing. I use these mostly at bedtime, but also have some in my purse for on the go. Almost instant relief! They really do adhere to your teeth/gums and will stay there and slowly dissolve, even if you fall asleep. I have tried many, many things to try and help, especially at bedtime. These are so easy! You can slip on into your mouth, just like a regular lozenge, use your tongue to tuck it between your teeth and gums, seriously! Relief is fast and has made going to sleep so much easier. They may seem a little pricey at first, but they are worth it and they are now a staple in my dry mouth regime. 😍😁

Works very well for when your going to sleep if you want to avoid waking up with a dry mouth. A bit expensive compared to cheaper Gum that helps produce saliva if your awake, but easily the best option for when your asleep. The price does mean I'd recommend not using it every night but only during times when your producing an excessively dry mouth, such as when your sick or taking certain kinds of medicine.

My dentist suggested that I try these to help with dry mouth when sleeping. They are practically flavorless and so easy to use. I just place one on each side of my mouth (as per product directions) at bedtime. When I wake up my mouth is not dry at all.
