A New Gum that Can Actually Strengthen Teeth

Who doesnt want stronger teeth? Wouldnt it be ideal if strengthening your teeth were as simple chewing on a piece of gum? If the people at Trident have their way, this may be the case. Trident has introduced a chewing gum that they claim can be used to strengthen teeth when chewed on a regular basis. Although sweet chewing gums are often associated in peoples minds with cavities and other dental problems, the people at Trident claim this gum is different. The gum, called Trident Xtra Care, has an added ingredient called Recaldent which has been shown in clinical studies to strengthen teeth while, at the same time, helping to lay down new teeth enamel.

How does Trident Xtra Care with Recaldent help to strengthen teeth? The active ingredient, Recaldent, helps to replace the important minerals calcium and phosphate which give the tooth strength and hardness and make them more resistant to cavity forming bacteria. At the same time, Recaldent helps to fill in tiny fissures where bacteria can lodge to form cavities. The act of chewing on gum also helps to promote increased flow of saliva which can reduce cavities by washing bacteria off of tooth surfaces before they cause problems. Trident Xtra Care Gum with Recaldent is sugar-free which means no worries about added sugar. Its sweetened with Xylitol which also helps to protect teeth from dental decay. Each piece has less than five calories.

How does Trident Xtra Care with Recaldent taste? It comes in two flavors, Cool Mint and Peppermint. Having tried the Cool Mint flavor myself, I found it to be sweet and refreshing without any unusual aftertaste. The flavor was fresh, clean, and long lasting. I would compare it favorably with other Trident gums. It comes packaged in a handy cardboard flip-top box that holds fourteen pieces. The price? Fourteen sticks are a reasonable price of only $1.49.

If you want to strengthen teeth and protect them from tooth decay, this product seems like a no-brainer. To sweeten your mouth while strengthening your teeth and preventing cavities for the inexpensive price of only ten cents a stick is an ideal situation. This gum can already be found at a variety of stores including Target where you can buy it in single packs for around $1.49 or multi-packs for $3.29.

The next time you need something sweet to chew on, why not strengthen your teeth at the same time? Its as simple as popping a piece of Trident Xtra Care with Recaldent.
