Chewing sugarfree gum, such as Orbit, for 20 minutes after eating and drinking has been shown not only to neutralize plaque acid and reverse the rise in pH caused by plaque bacteria, but also to help remineralize damaged enamel, thereby helping to prevent the development of caries.
Orbit sugarfree chewing gum can increase salivary flow rate by a factor of 10. The increased buffering effect of stimulated saliva also neutralizes food acids and helps reduce erosion of tooth enamel. The use of sugarfree gum has also been associated with a reduction in the quantity and development of plaque and also dry mouth relief.
The smooth, refreshing flavor of Orbit sugarfree gum leaves your mouth with a crisp, “just brushed clean” feeling.
