Oral health brand TePe has introduced TePe Hydrating Mouth Wash and TePe Hydrating Mouth Gel, an innovative oral care range developed to relieve the symptoms of dry mouth, providing long-lasting comfort whilst protecting oral health.

Dry mouth (also known as xerostomia) is a condition that affects one in five people. It is linked to ageing, medical conditions, such as Sjögren's syndrome, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and diabetes, the menopause, and medications or treatment, including chemotherapy.

TePe Hydrating Mouthwash and TePe Hydrating Mouth Gel provide much needed relief from dry mouth. The symptoms, which range from mild to severe, include extreme thirst, difficulties chewing or swallowing, a sticky, dry feeling in the mouth, bad breath, a sore throat and dry, cracked lips. Dry mouth doesn't just affect comfort: decreased saliva production also increases the risk of oral health issues, such as tooth decay, infections, and gum disease (gingivitis).

Developed by dental experts, TePe Hydrating Mouthwash and TePe Hydrating Mouth Gel help to soothe the mouth and stimulate saliva production.

TePe Hydrating Mouthwash is a gentle formula which soothes and moisturises the oral cavity for long-lasting comfort and effective relief from dry mouth.

The hydrating oral care solution contains 0.2% fluoride to provide effective protection against cavities - a crucial defence against the increased oral health risks associated with dry mouth.

To cater to patient preference and those with dry, sensitive mouths, TePe Hydrating Mouthwash is available in two flavours, mild apple-peppermint and unflavoured.

For dry mouth sufferers seeking immediate and long-lasting relief, TePe Hydrating Mouth Gel offers a gentle, moisturising solution. Available in a mild peppermint and unflavoured variety, TePe Hydrating Mouth Gel soothes the oral cavity, providing sustained comfort.

It also has a convenient pump dispenser to facilitate easy application, making it an ideal on-the-go solution.
