When should you chew CB12 Boost White Eucalyptus for fresh breath?
CB12 Boost White Eucalyptus is a dietary supplement in the form of sugar-free, eucalyptus-flavored gum. Each piece of gum, made with a two-layer design, combines two polyols—xylitol and sorbitol—with zinc acetate and sodium fluoride. It fits easily into a pocket or bag for those times of day when a toothbrush isn’t handy—though it’s never a substitute for one.
Chewing gum stimulates saliva production, which washes over the teeth and dental plaque after meals. Sugar-free gum helps neutralize acids in dental plaque and maintain tooth mineralization, making the end of a meal—whether at the office or out and about—the best time to chew some. A quick lunch, an afternoon snack, or an afternoon coffee break are all occasions when brushing isn’t possible and when gum takes over until evening.
Gum also comes in handy when your mouth gets dry. Sugar-free gum helps reduce dry mouth: chewing gum during a long meeting, a commute, or a speech keeps saliva flowing when your mouth tends to feel pasty. It’s equally helpful on days spent in dry air—on a plane, in an air-conditioned car, or in a heated office—where a dry mouth sets in more quickly.
Its eucalyptus flavor leaves a refreshing sensation in the mouth and fresh breath throughout the day. It complements other oral hygiene routines—brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash—when the taste of a meal or drink lingers and no sink is available.
The spaces between your teeth trap debris that neither gum nor a toothbrush can truly reach. For this reason, we recommend Sensodyne fluoride dental floss, to be used in the evening before brushing: it mechanically cleans the hidden surfaces of the teeth, where the gum chewed during the day cannot reach.
How should you use these sugar-free chewing gums?
Directions for Use
Chew a piece of gum throughout the day, as needed, in addition to your other oral hygiene routine: up to 5 pieces per day for adults and 4 pieces per day for children 12 years and older. The beneficial effect on plaque acids and on tooth mineralization is achieved by chewing the gum for at least 20 minutes after eating or drinking; the effect on dry mouth is achieved by chewing the gum as soon as a sensation of dryness in the mouth occurs.

Our Expert Tips on CB12 Boost White Eucalyptus
The most important factor is how you chew. Chewing a piece of gum for a few minutes refreshes your mouth, but it’s the prolonged chewing after a meal that helps neutralize the acids in plaque: it’s better to chew a single piece of gum for a long time than to chew several pieces in quick succession. Also keep in mind other sugar-free candies and beverages you consume throughout the day, as they also contain polyols.
What gum can’t do: It doesn’t replace morning and evening brushing or flossing, and if your breath remains unpleasant despite this, you should schedule the dental appointment mentioned above—not just chew another piece of gum. Save it for times when you don’t have a toothbrush: at the office, while traveling, or in meetings.
FAQ
Does CB12 Boost White Eucalyptus whiten my teeth?
“White” is part of the gum’s name. It is not a substitute for a whitening treatment or a dental cleaning: stains caused by coffee, tea, or tobacco are removed at the dentist’s office through scaling and polishing.
Why does CB12 Boost White Eucalyptus contain multiple sweeteners?
The blend of polyols and intense sweeteners helps maintain a sweet taste throughout chewing, even though the gum contains no sugar.
Does CB12 Boost White Eucalyptus contain gluten, lactose, or gelatin?
No. CB12 Boost gum contains no gluten, lactose, gelatin, or any other ingredients incompatible with a vegetarian diet.
Can I use CB12 Boost White Eucalyptus with CB12 mouthwash?
Yes, the two complement each other: the mouthwash is used after brushing, and the gum throughout the day, after a spicy meal, coffee, or a drink.
