When is the best time to best saliva?
1184743
first thing in the morning before you have had anything to eat or drink which may affect the outcome. You can do it a couple hours in between meals and beverages as well but the best time is first thing in the morning.

You're supposed to take 1 ml and hold it for 2 minutes under your tongue before swallowing. The length of time that you're supposed to be on the drops depends on the results you're looking for, however the drops didn't work for me at all and had the opposite effect of what I was looking for.

Dear CK C.,Thank you for your inquiry. It is best to use a fresh sample collected using a clean, dry, sterile cup. If using a frozen sample or sample that is within room temperature, the urine should be at 90 degrees Fahrenheit or higher for testing. Also, morning samples or waiting 2-4 hours between bathroom break will assure a more saturated sample of LH hormone in the sample for testing Peak ovulation times. Please contact us if you have further information or inquiries.Best Regards,Easy@Home Customer Service855.822.6999 M-F 9am-5pm CST

I use my finger tip, put it in my mouth and run it around with my tongue. It moistens my mouth immediately. I'm usually doing it in the middle of the night, in the dark.

I drink a lot of tea also and it stains teeth as badly as coffee. I use the optic stuff in the morning at least 30 min before eating drinking, mainly focus on using it at night before I go to bed so it lasts longer.

I just checked the packages and there is no date, but there isn't on the ones I get from my dentist either. I've used this order with my husband and it works perfectly! I suggest using the lower % if you are just starting and don't use too much. The peroxide bubbles and if the 35% gets onto the gums it will BURN! A fine line in the bottom of your guard is perfect. My husband and I use one tube between us when we whiten. IMPORTANT: keep the syringes refrigerated!

My dentist told me to leave it in between 15 to 30 minutes, twice a day. Sensitivity will determine how long you leave the gel on your teeth.

A good spot is between your premolar and first molar, on the upper, on the gum tissue with the dark side to the gum tissue. Once it "sticks", don't try to move it because it adheres to the gums and will finally dissolve and release from the tissue. Alternate the sites from one side to the other.

I don't see why not, but you will have a higher risk of contamination. The best results can be obtained by using a dropper or dipping into the fluid. Then blotting the excess by tapping the strip sideways on an sheet of paper. Saliva pH can vary greatly depending on what you eat. Make sure you wash your mouth and wait 30-60 min before taking a sample.

I brush it on my teeth and leave it overnight. My dentist said if the sensitivity is bad than I should use it in the morning also, but don't eat or drink anything for 30 minutes after use. I hope this helps!

Usually the best is after 3pm. I would end up testing when I get home from work because the afternoon is always best for ovulation tests, unlike pregnancy tests that you have to do in the morning. So, it is in the afternoon and try to test at around the same time.

Preferably after swimming, or at least an hour or so before swimming. A lot of times I use it first thing in morning, but it really depends on the chlorine readings and your scheduled activities. When the water needs it, I put it in. Just check your Chem levels every couple days. You can usually tell when running low of chlorine by scent of water.

Actually, I leave it on till it's gone because you need such a tiny bit and it's not unpleasant tasting so I seldom bother to spit it out, but it works "instantly" so if you want to spit it out after two or three minutes, you could easily spit. Just put a tiny bit on the tip of your index finger and rub it around on the sore spots, adding more as needed to cover more areas....then wait a minute or two. Mine disappears, so to speak, but if it bothers you and the pain is gone (which it will be) then spit out anything that's left, but don't rinse. If you have a bunch in your mouth, then you used too much!

I am happy to answer! I had to go to my husband for help in responding as I buy the XyliMelts for him. He has undergone radiation therapy and chemotherapy for throat cancer. As a result of the treatments he has no functioning salivary glands. Therefore, his mouth and throat are drier than the Sahara. Two XyliMelts keep his oral cavity moist throughout the night. I would think then that one tablet would keep your mouth and throat moist if you have no significant effects on saliva production as my husband does.

30 minutes is plenty to get them clean and keep them smelling fresh. I always rinsed my Invisalign and now retainer under hot water before putting in to soak. It is perfectly safe to soak all day though when you wear retainers only at night.

If you have no gum discomfort, start with 20 minutes and work your way up. I use it for an hour.

Probably overnight is best...but I actually can tell almost right away....especially with mint leaves. Other veggies might take the overnight time. Fruits are probably quicker too. Hope this helps.
