NCT ID NCT07692581
First seen Jul 09, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a special remineralizing gum can improve oral health in adults who have bad breath, sensitive teeth, or gum discomfort. Participants chew one piece of gum daily for 30 days and report changes in breath freshness, tooth sensitivity, and gum comfort. The study is small and does not use a placebo, so results will be preliminary.
