Top Oral Care Products For Dementia Patients
AllDay Dry Mouth Spray – This product is wonderful for patients who have a hard time keeping their mouths wet. Dry mouth is typically caused by medications. The more saliva your patient has, the better. Saliva is a natural cleanser against bacteria.

Toothbrush
OK. This may sound ridiculous to even recommend, but it’s true. I cannot tell you how many times I see a dementia patient, with teeth, use a sponge rather than a toothbrush. This is not appropriate for their mouth as a sponge cannot remove the food that gets impacted between the teeth and at the gumline. Please use the proper brush as follows:
- Adult Toothbrush: For patients with teeth. Be sure the bristles are extra soft and there is a tongue scraper on the other side of the head. This helps protect their teeth if they accidentally bite down on the toothbrush.
- Baby Toothbrush: Great to use for those hard-to-reach places, and potentially because a patient’s mouth may be too small for the adult size toothbrushes. More often, I recommend the adult toothbrush over a baby toothbrush.
- Sponge Lollipop: Typically given out at hospitals, this sponge is great only for those without teeth.
Xylitol Gel – Also made by AllDay (Elevate), this gel is a toothpaste made of 44% xylitol, has a great taste, and is meant to be swallowed. This has the consistency of toothpaste and also picks up food particles. This is a great recommendation for those whose patients tend to swallow their toothpaste while brushing.
Oral Rinse for Dementia Patients
Alcohol-free • Dye-free • Triclosan-free • Sulfate-free • Gluten-free, CloSYS Sensitive Mouth Oral Rinse provides these benefits.
- Ideal for solution for sensitive mouths– naturally activated & pH balanced because your mouth is a sensitive place.
- Fresh & clean without pain & irritation– Reduces bad breath for a noticeably cleaner and fresher mouth.
- Bad Breath –CloSYS is the first mouth rinse awarded the ADA Seal* for reducing bad breath. Not a cover-up.
Water Piks-CloSYS is great added to your oral irrigator. Dilute up to no more than 10 parts water to 1 part CloSYS.
