Sjogren's disease often includes drastic reduction in saliva flow and can also affect the quality of the saliva so it does not provide the ideal protection. Patients have a much greater risk of tooth loss due to decay. In addition to the dental care steps most are aware of a new protocol is currently offering promise that nearly anyone can duplicate in a few short steps. During the say sufferers may use high fluoride toothpaste, XyliMelts and sugarless gum.
A night protocol using dental trays is a novel idea that may provide better protection than other methods.
Ensure all medical and dental basics are up to date. Custom dental trays are a critical feature of this protocol and are fabricated after all essential dental treatment is completed. Dental trays may be designed out of materials used for whitening trays, aligners, retainers or grinding night guards if a person has a strong bite. If you wear a dental appliance for snoring or other purposes your dentist may recommend applying this strategy to the most strategic appliance or alternating nights with different appliances.
The next critical step is to apply the protective gel (typically a choice of one of the pH7smile products) inside the dental appliance, insert the appliance over your teeth, spit any excess and go to sleep. During the night if you wake up more gel can be applied to your tongue to refresh your mouth and regenerate the gel to edges of the appliance where it naturally is reduced over the night.
How this Special Dental gel in a night tray works
Perhaps the most important advantage is time. Most dental products contact the teeth for only a few minutes and therefore rely on relatively high concentrations of active ingredients.
A tray can maintain a dental product against the teeth for hours rather than minutes. This extended exposure allows lower concentrations of multiple bio-similar ingredients to work together over a much longer period. Rather than delivering a large dose in a short burst, the tray provides sustained delivery throughout the night, when many of the mouth's natural protective mechanisms are at their lowest.
The ideal gel provides most of the features that healthy salvia would provide but during sleep most people have less saliva flow - and if you have Sjogren's disease that is often next to zero.
