This document discusses dry mouth (xerostomia), which affects 30-40% of seniors and is a common side effect of many medications. Dry mouth is caused by reduced or absent saliva flow and can lead to dental problems like tooth decay. Over 500 medications can cause dry mouth as a side effect. The document promotes an oral care product line from Oraline that is designed to treat dry mouth affordably, including a dry mouth toothpaste with xylitol, a benzocaine-based oral pain reliever, a soft-bristled toothbrush, and interdental brushes. It encourages readers to try their products.
