XyliMelts discs are placed on a tooth or gums in the mouth to slowly dissolve and release 500 mg of xylitol and soothing oral lubricant to coat the mouth and tongue, and stimulate saliva production which can provide temporary relief for some or all of the symptoms of white tongue or dry mouth. If you are suffering from dry mouth in conjunction with white tongue, try XyliMelts adhering discs to relieve your discomfort.
Nail fungus can make your toe nails and even your fingernails look like they are rotting away when the nails turn an unsightly yellow and become unnaturally thick. An infection of the nails by fungi (called onychomycosis in medical terminology) is not simply a cosmetic problem; it is not inherited; and it is contagious.
Onychoptosis caused by fungus isn't that rare a problem â three to five percent of Americans are affected, as are up to 18 percent of people worldwide. Nails that fall off because of fungal infection will grow back, but the new nail will probably become infected, similar to the old one. Since the condition rarely goes away on its own, it's smart to talk with a health care provider about an accurate diagnosis and then possible treatments.
