Can anyone use Biotene Toothpaste, even if they don't have Dry Mouth?
Absolutely. Biotene's natural enzymes are normally found in saliva and are essential in preventing cavities and gingivitis while promoting a healthy oral flora.

Can I use the Biotene toothpaste with another mouthwash or another toothpaste other than Biotene?
No! Due to the sensitive nature of the enzymes contained within our product, if you use Biotene mouthwash in conjunction with another mouthwash, the enzymes will be destroyed and the Biotene mouthwash will be ineffective. Using another mouthwash especially an alcohol based mouthwash in conjunction with Biotene toothpaste will destroy the enzymes in the toothpaste as well.
