Cavity Gum

The Gum

CavityGum is a chewing gum concept targeting dental health that includes several active ingredients:
Magnesium, Vitamin D, Calcium and Fluoride.
The gum is available in a Freshmint flavor and it is sweetened with Stevia (no Aspartame). Bi-Layered Compressed Gum

For CavityGum, Fertin’s patented Bi-layered compressed chewing gum technology has been utilized. This innovative chewing gum technology is well suited for the inclusion of active ingredients due to a dry and cool manufacturing process, which is ideal for sensitive ingredients. Furthermore, the powder base of the gum ensures an efficient release of the active substances.

Chewing gum and Dental Health For many years, the positive oral benefits of sugarfree chewing gum have been well known1. Plaque removal2, saliva flow3, caries protection4 and remineralization5 are known benefits of chewing gum by itself. Besides this, chewing gum also releases actives in the oral cavity, an ideal feature for concepts targeting the mouth and teeth

CavityGum Benefits

Beyond the inherent oral care benefits found with chewing gum, this delivery form also allows a local release of actives into the oral cavity, which is ideal for active ingredients targeting dental health. Concerning the active ingredients, Fluoride has been chosen due to its well-known association with cavity protection6. Magnesium has been included, as it has been shown to aid in preventing tooth loss and periodontal disease7,8. Calcium and Vitamin D are fundamental and well-known components for the maintenance of strong bones and teeth9,10. Together with chewing gum, these active ingredients comprise a dental chewing gum concept designed to protect against cavities and to maintain strong teeth.
