What are the benefits of chewing ORBIT sugarfree gum?
Chewing Orbit sugarfree gum stimulates the production of saliva to help wash away debris and neutralize plaque acid in the mouth. Stimulated saliva, through chewing sugarfree gum, prevents the fall in plaque pH normally seen after eating and drinking, Studies show chewing Orbit sugarfree gum immediately after eating or drinking for a period of 20 minutes helps reduce the incidence of tooth decay. Why is stimulated saliva better than unstimulated saliva? Stimulated saliva is saturated with bicarbonate buffers and remineralising ions. The bicarbonate raises the pH of the saliva effectively neutralizing and buffering food acids, and acids arising in plaque from the fermentation of carbohydrate by bacteria. Saliva is the mouth’s natural defence mechanism against dental caries. It helps to neutralise plaque acids, was away food particles and repair early dental lesions through remineralisation of the tooth’s enamel.
