One of the most serious side effects of radiation therapy is a dry mouth which is a condition associated with Xerostomia. Most people would think drinking water or rinsing with a specially formulated mouthwash would help with dry mouth, but it doesn't.  This is a debilitating burning sensation to the mouth, tongue and throat, which also can cause cavities, bad breath, and overall destruction of the teeth, gums, and taste buds.  It often leaves the person unable to speak normally.  The most common cause of Dry Mouth is from medications and other diseases affecting over one billion people worldwide, up to 30% of women and 50% of seniors.  There had to be an effective solution, and dentist Dr. Brian Midei (Dr. B) was determined to find it.    

Time to Innovate

Dr. B joined forces with a company with patents on infusing functional ingredients into toothpicks, one of the world's favorite and most effective dental devices.  The toothpick not only is clnically proven to Imrpove Oral Health, but also the innovation of infusing mouth-watering flavors that stimulate salivation is a breakthrough for those that suffer from dry mouth.

The key ingredient to the sticks is Spilanthes, a flavoring ingredient that has been used as a remedy for toothaches and inflammation in the mouth for centuries.

Three significant realizations happened during his research:

1.     The sticks never lost their flavor. One stick could be used for hours and still release flavor. The mouth watering flavoring agent Spilanthes would create the "ever-lasting gobstopper of salivation."   The delivery device was convenient, fun and easy to use. 

2.     After constant testing of the acid in his own mouth, Dr. B. became obsessed with figuring out ways to neutralize and control the acid that causes cavities. 

3.     XERO STICKS were given to cancer patients who lost their hope from extreme dry mouth, and who c would not live a comfortable life due to the radiation treatments. These sticks had positive life-changing results for these patients, and Dr. B. knew he had co-invented an effective product that not only could change lives, but also be a breakthrough for the dental profession.
