[Dysphagia] Dry Mouth

[Janet.finger at kindredhealthcare.com (Janet.finger@kindredhealthcare.com)]

We've used the biotene mouthwash with colgate or whatever other toothpastes. Is there a reason it "must be used" with the biotene toothpaste or is this just a marketing thing?

I agree.  Regarding oral care, Biotene is a good non-alcohol, antibacterial mouthwash for dry mouth--must be used in conjunction with the Biotene toothpaste versus another toothpaste.  They also have refreshing orajel & gum, both for dry mouth.

  My question would be---why not give her free water with concurrent scheduled oral care?  The Frazier Free Water Protocol works--its documented.
