The tiny sachet that promises to aid hydration and oral health

 

You know when you are flying, or on a long-distance drive, and your mouth gets unpleasantly dry?

There is a new potential option to give your water - and your oral health - a little hydration zhush.

SmileSip, which comes in powdered form in a nifty little sachet, is being promoted as "a ground-breaking new drink mix redefining the way Australians care for their oral health", and has just landed on shelves in Woolworths stores nationally. 

SmileSip is designed both to support oral health and overall wellbeing. 

The contents of the stick sachet are mixed with water and aim to relieve dry mouth, freshen breath, prevent stains to keep teeth white, and protect against cavities and gum disease.

If it just helps prevent dry mouth on a long-distance flight then that would satisfy me. 

SmileSip contains ingredients like xylitol, erythritol and green tea powder. 

Created by Dr Angie Lang (below), a leading Australian dentist with over 20 years of experience, SmileSip was developed in conjunction with Dental Health Australia (DHA), an organisation dedicated to promoting oral health across the country. 

SmileSip is an all-Australian product that creates its own new category.

“SmileSip isn’t just a drink, it’s a way to change the way we think about oral health and overall wellness,” says Dr Lang. 

“I was determined to create a functional beverage that was both effective and enjoyable. After over 10 years of research, I’m proud to offer a product that combines convenience, taste and powerful oral health benefits. It’s easy to incorporate into your wellbeing routine - just mix with water, sip and enjoy - and it’s suitable for the whole family.

“The mouth is the gateway to overall health. 

"Poor oral health can contribute to more serious conditions, from heart disease to digestive issues. That’s why I believe SmileSip is so important; it’s more than just about teeth; it’s about overarching wellbeing.”

SmileSip is available in six refreshing flavours: Mixed Berry, Watermelon, Pink Lemonade, Mango Passion, Matcha and Rose. 

Having worked through them I found the berry and lemonade options the most refreshing for my palate  

I'll be packing a few of each for a trip to Asia in a few weeks, and will report back on the how they work. 

SmileSip has an RRP of $14.95 for a box of five sachets - which should be enough for a few hours in the air.
