ABSTRACT:
A method and composition for preventing, or reducing the risk of, dental caries. Pursuant to the present invention, a chewing gum is provided that includes a therapeutically effective amount of calcium glycerophosphate. The chewing gum, by including a therapeutically effective amount of calcium glycerophosphate, not only eliminates any cariogenic effects of the chewing gum itself, but actually improves dental health when chewed before or after a meal containing fermentable carbohydrates.
