These come in chocolate or caramel.

The arginine + calcium sugar-free soft chews mimic nutrients found in healthy saliva. Some early studies have shown potential for daily chewing of these bites to reduce cavity progression (when not cavitated) and also fighting bad breath. The theory goes that the beneficial bacteria in our mouth use arginine in their metabolism to produce alkali and base, thus raising the pH and buffering against the acids produced by bad bacteria, promoting pH balance.

Dry mouth can be helped because chewing twice daily promotes increased salivary flow and a balanced oral pH.

My children chew one of these after brushing their teeth – it’s a great incentive! 🙂
