Now I can't find any more.<br /><br />The website will tell you if anyone sells it near where you are (or are going):<br />http://www.snackworks.com/products/product-locatorAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6499683257701375749.post-63412251163195244692013-08-28T13:33:26.224-04:002013-08-28T13:33:26.224-04:00Evidence based studies (check out PubMed) on Gum w...<br />Evidence based studies (check out PubMed) on Gum with recaldent (Trident Xtra Care being the only one available in the US)show it reverses decay. As a dental hygienist I have advised patients to chew 2 peices a day for a few weeks/months with impressive results demonstrated in reversing beginning stages of decay! It will also prevent decay. The texture is somewhat different from other gums &(seems to melt at higher temps.)which I think accounts for its unpopularity, which is soooo unfortunate, it is awesome!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6499683257701375749.post-75244131257975047582010-04-11T20:21:19.527-04:002010-04-11T20:21:19.527-04:00I was sceptical about the recaldent claims, as wel...I was sceptical about the recaldent claims, as well. The studies I found online seem to indicate that sufficient chewing does have the calcium bond to the teeth. Ten minutes of chewing should have it adhere. But it doesn't really do anything for your enamel.Hussariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16553090560365692058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6499683257701375749.post-74408493133477767002010-04-11T12:13:59.101-04:002010-04-11T12:13:59.101-04:00I haven't chewed gum in decades, but I have ve...I haven't chewed gum in decades, but I have very weak enamal and my teath had developed scratches and cracks all over and were begining to break apart. A few years ago, my dentist suggested chewing trident white (the recalcident has now moved to trident extra care). After chewing two pieces a day (on the way to work and home) for a few months, I noticed a white patch on a front tooth where a scratch had been. Eventually, all of the scratches were replaced with white lines where they had been filled in. No broken teeth since!!! But lately, I cannot find Trident Extra care for sale anywhere. Do you know if they are discontinuing this product or if there is a secret side effect --twitch...twitch?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
