3M TheraMints Xylitol Sweetened Mints
3M TheraMints are xylitol sweetened mints that stimulate saliva flow to help relieve dry mouth, without contributing to tooth decay like sugar sweetened mints.
The 3M TheraMints 100% Xylitol Sweetened Mints is a dental confectionery product recommended for patients who experience dry mouth, a common side effect of certain medications and medical conditions that can otherwise increase the risk of tooth decay. The mints are sweetened entirely with xylitol, a natural sugar substitute that does not feed the bacteria responsible for cavities the way ordinary sugar does, making them a suitable choice for patients who need to snack or freshen their breath without adding to their caries risk.
Chewing or sucking on the mints stimulates saliva flow, which helps naturally cleanse the mouth, buffer acid and maintain comfort for patients whose dry mouth would otherwise leave them without this natural protection. They are available in a mint flavor, giving patients a pleasant tasting option that also supports their oral health goals.
Dentists recommend products like this to patients with dry mouth as part of a broader oral care plan, and dental practices across the UAE and GCC commonly stock them for patient purchase at the front desk.
