Thanks, Brian. It'd be great to do a side by side comparison with the stuff I bought.

My husband has tryed 'BioXtra' and found that the toothpast and mouthwash burnt quit a bit. He has reverted to using the 'GreenBeaver' toothpast which doesn't burn but also doesn't have the important fluoride ingredient.

As for the oral gel spray, my husband said that it stings less and he does use it sometimes at night but he only find it helps a little. Today, he is one month post radiation so maybe this is why everything from mouthwash to pepper still burns his mouth.

Wow Brian thank you for sharing, I am enjoying getting to know you better. You are right, the great leaders are the ones at your side when you least expect it!

Oh no! My husband relies heavily on Biotene mouth spray due to no saliva glands. In Sept. 2013 I noticed it was off the shelves so I called the company who stated they removed that product due to mislabeling regarding the sugar content. It would probably come back into the market around January 2014. In the meantime I looked everywhere for any mouth spray product and only found CVS brand spray. My husband actually said it sprayed better than the Biotene but was more expensive. I ordered several bottles at a time from a local CVS but now it is not available and the manager said it looks like it will be discontinued. Does anyone have any ideas?

I also used the Biotene mouth spray as well as the toothpaste and mouthwash, and I am very disappointed with GSK for changing a great product.

Another OC survivor had recommended an oral spray by MedActive that I've been using for about 6 months now and I do like it. It is expensive, and is carried by only a few pharmacies, but you can order it directly from the company's website.

Hi there, my husband tryed the last product from BioExtra, the mouth gel and said that it did not sting and that it helped moisten and freshen his mouth for about 20 minutes. It was the last product he tried but the most satisfying! I ordered a box of twelve from the US

There are so many knowledgeable people on this website I can't express myself anywhere near in comparison but can say how truly thankful I am that I have found you. Each comment or forum I have viewed gives me a sense of strength and I value each person here. I wish my husband was a computer person but he is not; nor the type to get started. He relies totally on me and I thank you for all information. To get back to the topic of "Biotene" replacement products; what is the name of the sample products you are checking out, Brian? I have few options as far as pharmacies (or drug stores as they used to call them) in the area I live so I need to investigate more. I look forward to getting more comfortable using this site and learning more.

for what its worth, I live in Campbell River B.C. Canada, Our local Wall Mart store still carries the old Biotene toothpaste formula, so I stocked up a couple months back, looked again yesterday and its still on the shelf $6.95 a tube, so i picked up a couple more tubes. must be old stock i guess. regards Dave.

Did you check the ingredients to make sure it was the old formula? Several pages back the old formula's ingredients were posted.

I'm new here - found this site searching for replacement for Biotene products due to formula change. I HAVE discovered a very good replacement for the toothpaste - expensive ($14.00/tube), but the ingredients are solidly helpful. It is called PerioBiotic Toothpaste, made by Designs for Health. It's sold on a number of websites. I found free shipping on LuckyVitamin.com and on PureFormulas.com. For a replacement on the Biotene mouthwash - Walgreens sells their brand containing most of the old Biotene ingredients, and Rite Aid also sells their brand containing most of the same ingredients. Now - I'm looking for the post mentioning the spray used to combat infection and aid in healing that I read a couple of days ago. So glad I've found this forum!

Wordless - if you would post the list of ingredients from PerioBiotic Toothpaste it would give us all a chance to look at things from a science perspective and not just your anecdotal endorsement (not that that isn't helpful) But we are finding lots of things out there, non contain the enzymes of the OLD biotene, so now we are looking for other alternate effective ingredients till that patent runs out next year.
