Information for Diabetic Patients
Prevention Diabetic Mouth Rinse is an alcohol-free formula that has anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral properties allowing it to help provide relief from common diabetic oral complications. Prevention’s Diabetic Mouth Rinse can help provide relief from gum disease that may occur from higher glucose levels in saliva that encourages the growth of bacteria. The anti-fungal properties provide relief from thrush, a fungal infection of the mouth that occurs more often in persons with diabetes because of high sugar levels in the saliva (fungus thrives on glucose). Another common complication of diabetes is dry mouth. Prevention’s Diabetic Mouth Rinse contains natural glycerin that helps to soothe irritated and inflamed gums as well as peppermint oil and menthol crystals to topically relieve discomfort. This formula is safe for long term use. Diabetic patients are more likely to develop periodontal disease than individuals without diabetes.
