Elevate Your Daily Routine: Why GC Recaldent Chewing Gum is Your Essential Oral Health Upgrade

At BreezeCare Oral Health (www.breezecareoralhealth.com), we believe professional-grade oral care should be simple, effective, and accessible every day. Brushing and flossing are foundational, but an often-overlooked secret to maintaining a strong, healthy smile is the powerful act of chewing gum.

That's where GC Recaldent Advanced Chewing Gum comes in. This isn't your average sugar-free gum; it's a dynamic, on-the-go treatment engineered to actively strengthen your teeth against the daily onslaught of acids.

The Science of Strength: Unpacking CPP-ACP

The core distinction of Recaldent Gum lies in its revolutionary ingredient: CPP-ACP (Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate). This unique milk-protein derivative is the same vital component found in the highly effective GC Tooth Mousse.

Think of it like a rescue crew for your enamel.

Release of Minerals: Chewing releases high concentrations of bio-available calcium and phosphate ions directly onto the tooth surfaces.
Targeted Delivery: These minerals are carried into the tiny subsurface lesions (the very start of decay) and into the plaque.
Remineralisation: This process effectively reverses the early stages of demineralisation, making the enamel harder, stronger, and significantly more resistant to future acid erosion.

A Multitasking Solution for Modern Oral Challenges

By incorporating Recaldent into your routine, you gain a host of practical benefits that go beyond simple breath freshening:

1. Instant pH Restoration After Meals

Every time you eat or drink (especially acidic items like coffee, soda, or citrus), the pH level in your mouth drops, creating an acidic environment where enamel erosion thrives. It can take up to 45 minutes for your saliva to naturally neutralize this acidity.

Recaldent Gum acts as a turbo-charger for neutralisation. Chewing immediately following a meal or snack helps restore a neutral pH balance faster, shielding your teeth during their most vulnerable period and minimising the risk of dental erosion.

2. The Key to Combating Dry Mouth

Dry mouth (Xerostomia) significantly increases your risk of decay because you lack the protective lubrication of saliva. Since Recaldent is a sugar-free gum, the physical act of chewing powerfully stimulates saliva flow. This increased moisture naturally flushes away debris and, crucially, distributes the protective CPP-ACP complex across all tooth surfaces, offering relief and remineralisation where it's needed most.

3. Proactive Protection Against Decay

Combined with its Xylitol content, the remineralising power of CPP-ACP means you are actively protecting against new lesions. The increased salivary flow and oxygenation from chewing also help to inhibit certain bacteria, supporting a healthier overall oral environment.

Integrating Recaldent into Your Day

For optimal results, dental professionals typically recommend using Recaldent Chewing Gum three times daily, ideally after your breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

1 Piece: Provides immediate freshness and protection.
2 Pieces: Recommended for individuals with high decay risk, severe dry mouth, or significant exposure to acidic reflux/morning sickness.

The gum is packaged conveniently in tubs containing 112 pellets, providing approximately one month of protection when used as directed.

Important Safety Note

Because CPP-ACP is a derivative of milk protein, Recaldent Chewing Gum is NOT suitable for anyone with a diagnosed milk protein or casein allergy. Please check the label before use.
