Best Dry Mouth Lozenges of 2025

"I use these before going to bed and while using my BiPAP machine. While I'm not a fan of the flavor and it leaves a slightly sticky residue in my mouth in the morning, I do wake up without the usual dry mouth discomfort caused by my medication and BiPAP. So, despite the minor issues, I'm satisfied with the results and will continue using them."

"For the past two years, I've been dealing with dry mouth, which is exacerbated by some medications I take for other health issues. These lozenges are perfect for bedtime - I place two in my mouth, under my tongue and in my cheek, and they keep my mouth moist as I fall asleep and throughout most of the night. On particularly dry days, I might wake up in the middle of the night to take another one. I also use Biotene mouthwash and spray, which seem to provide additional relief."

"I've tried various expensive dry mouth remedies like gums and candies, but none have been as effective as these lozenges from ACT. They've significantly improved my dry mouth condition, and the fact that they contain xylitol instead of sugar or corn syrup helps avoid blood sugar spikes. Plus, the fresh minty flavor helps combat bad breath. I use these daily when I go for treatment and have recommended them to other patients as well."

"I appreciate the individual packaging of these mints, which makes them handy for carrying in a handbag. I suffer from severe dry mouth and usually have one before bedtime. They have a minty flavor with no trace of orange. They're comparable to Mentos in taste. Do they alleviate dry mouth? Yes, but only for a few hours. I find these mints more convenient than mouth rinses, which can be messy, and I would purchase them again."

"I purchased these mints to combat the dry mouth I experience when taking a particular medication. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that they do more than just moisten my mouth - they also freshen my breath and have a soothing, cooling effect. I don't usually have bad breath (at least according to my cat), but these might help with halitosis. They're a bit expensive, though."

"These mints are effective and tasty. I have dry mouth due to medication, and these mints keep my mouth moist for several hours. However, be cautious not to consume them like candy, as too many can cause diarrhea due to the Xylitol content."

"I've been using this product for a few years now, on the advice of my doctor. It's sugar-free and significantly alleviates dry mouth caused by side effects of other medications. It's a great substitute for water on long drives, helping to avoid unnecessary restroom breaks."

"I've been a long-time user of various Biotene products, but I only discovered these lozenges earlier this year. They've been a game-changer, offering tremendous help on those days when my mouth is extremely dry, and my lips feel glued together, and no amount of water seems to help. These lozenges effectively alleviate the discomfort and prevent the formation of sores that come with severe dry mouth."

"Remember to keep a pack on your bedside table and in your chemotherapy bag. They work best if you let them dissolve slowly. However, be aware of the small print on the box that warns about their laxative effect. This is particularly important if you're already experiencing digestive issues due to chemotherapy."

"These are the best dry mouth lozenges I've tried. While the flavor isn't great, it's a common issue with most lozenges. There are tasty, chewable drops available, but they don't alleviate dry mouth! For those with Sjogren’s syndrome, who experience such severe dry mouth that it's difficult to speak, these lozenges are effective! They do take a few minutes to work, so don't wait until your mouth is extremely dry. Some reviews say they don't stick to your teeth easily, but I haven't had that issue. I hold them against my cheek for about a minute or less, and they stay put. Over time, they dissolve, leaving a small piece to suck on like candy for continued relief."

"I often wake up with a very dry mouth. I've tried lifesavers, chewing gum, and various over-the-counter remedies. OraCoat is a small pill with a slight minty taste that sticks to the gum and provides natural moisture throughout the night. By morning, it's gone, and so is my dry mouth. I've recommended it to my dental hygienist, who now suggests it to her patients who suffer from dry mouth."

"These lozenges work quite well. On days when my mouth feels exceptionally dry, I rinse with xylitol water for a few minutes before placing two mints in my mouth and going to bed. They do help. While xylitol can irritate my mouth a bit, I like the clean, sweet feeling it leaves. I no longer have issues with things sticking to my teeth, so xylitol has been great for my oral health. I'm not a fan of mint, but this mint is mild enough to be tolerable. The cinnamon ones are delicious - I treat them like candy."

"I absolutely love these. My medication often leaves me with a dry mouth and I tend to wake up feeling dehydrated. By simply placing one of these in my mouth, which adheres to the roof of my mouth, I can sleep comfortably throughout the night. They last a long time and have been a game-changer for my sleep routine."

"I decided to try this product after my dentist recommended it for my dry mouth. I was doubtful that the small disc would stay attached to my upper gum all night and release xylitol to keep my mouth moist while I slept. However, it did exactly as promised. The disc stayed in place all night and had a pleasant minty flavor. It significantly improved my dry mouth, enabling me to sleep and wake up much more comfortably. I will continue to use this product nightly as it works extremely well."

"I've been using these for a year or two now regularly and can't do without them. My local grocery store stopped stocking them, possibly due to supply chain issues, so I now purchase them here. My dental hygienist mentioned that xylitol is beneficial for preventing tooth decay, which led me to discover XyliMelts. I also suffer from dry mouth, so this product is a double win for me! I've tried other xylitol-containing mints, but they didn't last as long and left a sticky, overly sweet taste in my mouth. XyliMelts, with their mild flavor, long-lasting effect, and ability to moisturize, are incomparable."
