ADA Seal of Acceptance Awarded

The ADA Council on Scientific Affairs (CSA) has awarded the Seal of Acceptance to Wrigley Orbit Sugar Free Gum, Wrigley Extra Sugar Free Gum and Wrigley Eclipse Sugar Free Gum, the first chewing gum products available to receive the Seal. CSA awarded the three Wrigley products the Seal after reviewing laboratory and clinical studies showing "that the physical action of chewing sugar-free gum for 20 minutes after eating stimulates saliva flow, which helps prevent cavities by reducing plaque acids and strengthening teeth." The Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co. will announce more details at a September 25 press conference in Chicago so it's possible some of your patients will see press coverage and have questions about sugar-free gum. Wrigley also will include information about the products in an upcoming mailer to ADA members.
