Why chew ORBIT sugarfree gum?
Research from around the world has now shown conclusively that chewing sugarfree gum stimulates the production of saliva, which helps to neutralize the plaque acids that cause dental caries. Many patients do not know about the scientific evidence supporting the use of sugarfree gum as part of an oral healthcare routine and are likely to be impressed using the hard facts: Facts: • Chewing sugarfree gum, such as ORBIT, has been proven to stimulate the flow of saliva by up to 10 times the normal resting flow rate1 and produces a prolonged increase for as long as it is chewed. • A greater volume and flow rate of stimulated saliva results from an increased ability to clear sugars and acids from around the teeth. • Stimulated saliva has a higher concentration of bicarbonate, which raises the pH of saliva and greatly improves its buffering power. • Stimulated saliva is much more effective at neutralizing plaque acid, which can cause tooth decay2. • Chewing sugarfree gum, such as ORBIT, after
