Salivin S/F Pastilles 25s plays a critical role in the maintenance of oral & dental health. It is a complex fluid made up of secretions from the salivary glands which help in cleansing the mouth, breaking down food, lubricating surfaces within the mouth, protecting teeth & gums as well as helping us to taste, swallow & digest our food. Saliva is also vital in allowing us to talk. Any change in saliva flow can upset the delicate balance that normally exists in the mouth & leave the mouth feeling dry. The slow dissolving pastilles contain malic acid, a recognised ingredient that naturally stimulates saliva production in the mouth in the same way as food. The pastilles are sugar free & contain xylitol, which helps reduce plaque formation. Salivin is gluten & preservative free.
