Orajel for Dry Mouth Discontinued

Post by Setj » Mon May 01, 2017 5:11 am

Church & Dwight has discontinued Orajel. I hate having to go back to Biotene gel. As others here have noted, Biotene is an inferior product compared to Orajel.

Anyone have other gels that are similar to Orajel for Dry Mouth?

Looks like glycerin is the active ingredient for it. Maybe try mixing your own?

18% glycerin and water, maybe a tiny amount of mouthwash for flavor? Add some xanthan gum if you want to make it a gel.

Well this explains why I wasn't able to find it in three different drug stores this weekend. Bought the Biotene gel as that was all they had. Still woke up with a dry mouth in the morning.
