How Do I Apply XyliMelts?
Notice there is a tan side and a white side to the melts. Once applied, the white side will be touching your cheek.
The tan side is what will adhere to your gums and hold the melt in place.
Place a disc at the gum line on the outside of a molar, upper or lower. Remember, the tan side will adhere to your gums.
Use your tongue to push the disc/melt to a comfortable spot. Once there, do not push with your tongue for 10 seconds, as this will disrupt the adhesion which grows stronger over time.
TREATMENT OF DRY MOUTH AND BAD BREATH
Treatment for dry mouth not only increases the amount of saliva produced, but, in most cases, also takes care of its accompanying symptom, bad breath.
XyliMelts help alleviate both dry mouth and bad breath symptoms. XyliMelts not only help increase saliva and freshen breath, but also last for hours, working to moisturize and coat the mouth for optimal comfort.
- Brushing and flossing regularly
- Brushing your tongue – to rid the mouth of dead mouth-lining cells, food particles, and bacteria
- Visiting the dentist regularly to ensure dentures or braces are properly fitted and cleaned
- Quitting smoking or using chewing tobaccos
- Natural remedies, such as chewing mint or parsley
- Keeping the mouth moist by drinking water or chewing sugarless gum or sugar-free hard candy to stimulate the production of saliva

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the pH 8 formula really safe for my tooth enamel?
Yes. A pH of 8 is non-acidic and above the threshold where enamel begins to erode. In fact, it helps neutralize the harmful acids produced by bacteria and acidic foods, actively protecting enamel.
Is it safe to use XyliMelts every single night long-term?
Yes. The discs are sugar-free, non-acidic, and use xylitol to stimulate your own natural saliva. They are designed and commonly used for daily, long-term dry mouth management.
Can I use XyliMelts if I have dentures or dental work?
Yes. The discs are commonly used by denture wearers for comfort. They can adhere to the gums or palate and are safe with most dental work. Avoid placing directly on a loose crown or sensitive surgical site.
Is xylitol safe if I have pets in the house?
Xylitol is well tolerated by humans but is toxic to dogs. Always store the 40-count pack in a closed cabinet or drawer, well out of reach of pets, just as you would with any sugar-free gum.
Are there any ingredients I should be concerned about?
The main active is xylitol, with a cellulose gum adhering base and mild mint flavor. There is no sugar, no alcohol, and no harsh surfactants. Full ingredients are listed on the box for review.
I'm a senior with chronic dry mouth. Is this safe enough for daily use?
Yes. XyliMelts are sugar-free, gentle, and have been a trusted choice for older adults managing age-related xerostomia, denture discomfort, and medication-induced dry mouth.
My parent is in cancer treatment. Are these discs safe during chemo or radiation?
XyliMelts are commonly recommended for oncology patients experiencing treatment-induced dry mouth. However, always confirm with your treating clinician, especially if mucositis or open sores are present.
Is this safe to use while wearing a CPAP mask at night?
Yes. The disc adheres to your gum or palate and stays in place under a CPAP mask. It is safe and commonly used by CPAP users for overnight mouth comfort.
How is this safer than using mouth sprays all day?
Mouth sprays often contain acids, alcohol, or sugars that can harm enamel or sting sensitive tissue. XyliMelts are sugar-free, pH 8, alcohol-free, and time-released for safer long-term use.
How does this compare to mouthwash for overnight dry mouth?
Mouthwash rinses away quickly, often contains alcohol that dries the mouth further, and is not designed for overnight wear. XyliMelts adhere and time-release moisture for 8 hours without alcohol.
Is this safer than sucking on hard candy or mints for dry mouth?
Yes. Most hard candies and mints are loaded with sugar that feeds cavity-causing bacteria. XyliMelts are sugar-free and use xylitol, which actually helps protect against cavities.
I'm worried the disc will be a choking hazard while I sleep. Is that a real risk?
The disc adheres to your gum or palate, not free-floating in your mouth. It dissolves gradually over hours and is sized to be safely retained while sleeping for most adult users.
What if the disc falls off and I accidentally swallow it whole?
XyliMelts are non-toxic and made from food-grade ingredients. Accidentally swallowing one is harmless, though the disc is designed to dissolve slowly in the mouth for the intended effect.
My gums are sensitive. Will the adhering disc irritate them?
The disc uses a gentle cellulose gum adhesive and mild mint. It is designed for sensitive oral tissue. If you have open sores, fresh surgical sites, or severe gum disease, consult your dentist first.
Is there any fire, heat, or electronic safety concern like with candles or diffusers?
None. XyliMelts are an entirely non-electronic, room-temperature, edible-grade oral care product. There is no flame, no heat element, and no vapor to inhale, making them the safest option for overnight use.
How do I use XyliMelts adhering discs for the first time?
Place one disc against your upper gum, ideally near a molar, with the flat side against the gum and the round side facing your cheek. Hold it in place for about 10 seconds until it begins to adhere, then let it dissolve slowly. Use one disc during the day and two at night, one on each side, for full 8-hour coverage.
Can I use XyliMelts with my CPAP machine at night?
Yes. The disc adheres to your gum or palate and stays in place comfortably under a CPAP mask. It is one of the most popular overnight solutions for CPAP and mouth-breathing users who wake with a dry mouth.
How long does one disc last?
Each disc is designed for up to 8 hours of time-release moisture, making it suitable for a full night's sleep or a full workday. For overnight use, placing a second disc on the opposite side can extend comfort through the entire night.
Are XyliMelts compatible with dentures, partials, or retainers?
XyliMelts are commonly used by denture wearers for added comfort and moisture. Place the disc on the gum or palate, not on the denture surface. Remove partials and retainers before placing the disc for best adhesion.
Can I use XyliMelts with other dry mouth products like biotene or mouthwash?
Yes, but it usually replaces them rather than complements them. Most users find that XyliMelts alone handles their dry mouth effectively. If you do combine products, use XyliMelts first and wait before rinsing with mouthwash.
What's included in the box when I order?
Each box contains 40 individually portioned mild mint adhering discs in a sealed retail package with usage instructions printed on the box. Nothing else needs to be purchased separately to begin using the product.
Are there any side effects or safety concerns I should know about?
XyliMelts are well tolerated by most adults. Xylitol is toxic to dogs, so store the box out of pet reach. People with severe gum disease, open oral sores, or known xylitol sensitivity should consult a dentist before use. The disc is not a choking hazard when properly adhered to the gum.
Is it safe for diabetics or people avoiding sugar?
Yes. XyliMelts are completely sugar-free. The active ingredient is xylitol, a sugar alcohol that does not raise blood glucose the way regular sugar does, making the discs suitable for most people with diabetes. Always confirm with your physician if you have specific medical concerns.
How are adhering discs different from mouth sprays, gels, or lozenges?
Mouth sprays and gels coat briefly and wash away within minutes. Lozenges require constant re-dosing and often contain sugar or acid. Adhering discs stick to the gum and time-release xylitol for up to 8 hours, actively stimulating your own saliva rather than just masking dryness, in a single hands-free dose.
