About SST

SST is designed to stimulate the salivary glands to increase the flow of saliva, thus relieving the unpleasant symptoms of dry mouth (xerostomia).

SST is a small, sugar-free pastille made up of buffered organic acids and calcium salts. The tablet is sucked and dissolves slowly in the mouth. SST is designed so that the organic acids present in the tablet act directly on the saliva glands to increase saliva production.

It is well-known that prolonged exposure to acid in the mouth can contribute to dental caries (holes in the teeth). While many saliva stimulants use acidic substances to stimulate saliva production, some of these products do not contain a buffering system. SST, however, contains a 'buffer' that allows saliva stimulation without damage to the teeth.
