White Gum
The Gum
WhiteGum is a chewing gum that is meant to aid in maintaining a healthy oral hygiene, with a specific focus on teeth whitening. The product comes in a Whitemint flavor and is sweetened with Xylitol and Stevia (no Aspartame)
Bi-Layered Compressed Gum
For WhiteGum, 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 known2. Plaque removal3, saliva flow4, caries protection5 and remineralization6 are known and documented benefits of chewing gum by itself.
WhiteGum Benefits
By adding active ingredients with oral care benefits1,7,9,10, such as Calcium Pyrophosphate, Calcium Carbonate, Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda) and Fluoride, the inherent benefits of chewing gum are complemented by the effects of the active ingredients. In addition, the local delivery in the oral cavity achieved by chewing gum is very beneficial. Calcium Pyrophosphate, Calcium Carbonate and Baking Soda have been selected based on the documented whitening effects1,9,10. The inclusion of Fluoride is meant to be supportive, by targeting cavity protection7, and thereby creating a well-rounded concept for general oral care protection, specifically focused on whitening. Further to the actual product benefits, WhiteGum will cater to a very strong and growing whitening and fluoride market8.
Safety
WhiteGum is safe for human use. All raw materials are permitted and approved as food ingredients or food additives according to the Danish and EU legislation on food.
