Dry Mouth

The device company Gebauer is recalling several lots of Salivart Oral Moisturizer. Salivart is an aerosol that is used to lubricate and moisten the oral tissue of patients who are suffering from dry mouth caused by a variety of drug treatments, head and neck radiation, and autoimmune diseases such as Sjogren’s syndrome.

Gebauer is recalling the product because some cans of Salivart do not meet the company’s specifications for aerobic microorganisms and mold. Anyone in possession of the recalled product should stop using it and dispose of it immediately. To find the affected lot numbers, contact Gebauer Company Customer Service at 800-321-9348.
