B-Fresh Cinnamon Flavor Gum, 100 Sugar Free Pieces 4.69 oz (Health and Beauty)

At my 6-month dental cleaning, the Hygienist commented that for the first time ever, I had almost no plaque on my teeth. This was weird, I thought, as I floss twice per day, rinse with Listerine for plaque removal, and brush my teeth at least twice per day with a really good toothpaste, but I still always have plaque buildup (they say it is because of your saliva ~ some people are lucky and their saliva breaks down plague ~ apparently, mine does not). SO, I thought, what am I doing differently? After I left, I realized that I have been chewing B Fresh gum over the past several months, and that was the only difference. Could it be that the advertising for the product might be true?? That the Zylitol, and maybe the B12 and Calcium actually change the ph of my saliva, and break down plaque?? I cannot wait to see if this trend continues....I will let you know.... Oh ~ the gum tastes better than other brands (Spry) that I have tried, during which I did not get better checkups ~

   I like to chew gum, but I want an all-natural gum, and I want it to be sugar-free so it doesn't harm my teeth. This is a tough combination to find. Finally someone suggested I try B-Fresh. It's sweetened with Xylitol, an all-natural sugar substitute that I think works well (it's the same sweetener used in Tom's of Maine's wonderful toothpastes). There are no artificial colors and flavors. In fact, my only negative is the pieces are rather small, but then it's easy enough to chew two at once. The initial burst of strong flavor does fade a little quickly, but there's a subtler flavor that lasts well (unlike one gum I tried, which tasted like wax within moments).
