The Australian Dental Journal reports that milk fortified with amorphous calcium phosphate (marketed here in the US as ACP or Recaldent) remineralizes enamel 81-164% more than your standard milk.  I've seen firsthand how amorphous calcium phosphate can remineralize damaged teeth .   If ACP-fortfied milk ever makes it to the states, it could have a greater effect on preventing cavities than any municipal water fluoridation effort.  (and with less angry anti-fluoride comments on my blogs, too.)

Trident Xtra Care: Xylitol + Recaldent (ACP) = our favorite gumWe've been waiting for a gum that combines the cavity fighting sweetener xylitol and the remineralizing power of amorphous calcium phosphate.  That wait is now over with Trident's new Xtra Care gum.   It's now our highest recommended chewing gum...with some reservations.
