Definitions
What is remineralizing gum?
Remineralizing gum is sugar free chewing gum designed to support enamel repair of early, non cavitated lesions. It helps by increasing saliva flow and, in the case of Enamio, by supplying minerals like nano hydroxyapatite during the chew.
How Enamio fits: Enamio Remineralizing Gum pairs nano hydroxyapatite with xylitol and supportive minerals for everyday use. Shop Enamio
What is nano hydroxyapatite?
Nano hydroxyapatite (n-HA) is a biocompatible form of the mineral that makes up 97% of tooth enamel and 70% of dentin. In products like Enamio, it supports the natural repair of early enamel damage by filling microscopic surface defects when used as directed.
Why Enamio uses it: We include 20 nm hydroxyapatite particles—the optimal size for penetrating enamel micropores—along with calcium and phosphate sources to keep minerals available while you chew.
Product basics
What is Enamio Remineralizing Gum and how does it work?
Enamio is a sugar free, plastic free gum made with natural chicle tree sap. The formula combines nano hydroxyapatite, xylitol, calcium glycerophosphate, magnesium citrate, L-arginine bicarbonate, bamboo silica, zinc gluconate, and natural mint or berry flavors. Chewing raises saliva flow by up to 10x, buffers acids, and helps minerals redeposit into early enamel weak spots.
Next steps: Chew one piece for about 20 minutes after meals. Buy Enamio Remineralizing Gum See the science

- Step 3: Either scan the QR code with your phone's camera, or visit verify.enamiogum.com and enter your serial number manually
- Step 4: You'll receive instant confirmation that your Enamio is genuine
Why this matters: We protect you from counterfeits that may contain unsafe ingredients or lack our proven formula. Only authentic Enamio delivers the clinically-validated nano hydroxyapatite and mineral blend your teeth need.
If verification fails or you have concerns about authenticity, contact us immediately at support@enamiogum.com.
Is Enamio plastic free and biodegradable?
Yes. We use natural chicle tree sap, not synthetic rubber or plastic polymers. Chicle is biodegradable and has been chewed safely for thousands of years.
Environmental note: While chicle biodegrades naturally, please dispose of gum properly in trash bins, not on sidewalks or under furniture.
Is Enamio aspartame free?
Yes. We never use aspartame, sucralose, saccharin, or any artificial sweeteners. We sweeten exclusively with xylitol and monk fruit extract.
Is Enamio keto friendly and sugar free?
Yes. Enamio is 100% sugar free and fits ketogenic, low-carb, and diabetic-friendly diets. Each piece contains less than 1g net carbs from xylitol.
Does Enamio contain fluoride?
No. Enamio is fluoride free. Our nano hydroxyapatite provides an alternative remineralization pathway. You can still pair Enamio with your fluoride toothpaste if your dentist recommends it—they work through different mechanisms.
Is Enamio vegan? What about kosher or halal?
Enamio is 100% plant-based and contains no animal products or byproducts. We are not yet kosher or halal certified, though our ingredients and manufacturing process meet the requirements. Certification is planned for 2025.
Where is Enamio made?
Enamio is proudly made in the USA in FDA-registered facilities that follow cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practice) standards.
Is Enamio safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Enamio's ingredients are generally recognized as safe, and maintaining oral health is especially important during pregnancy. However, always consult your healthcare provider before adding any new products to your routine during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Note: Pregnancy increases cavity risk due to hormonal changes and morning sickness acids, making remineralization support particularly valuable.
Science and results
Does remineralizing gum really work?
Yes, for early, non-cavitated lesions. Clinical studies show chewing sugar-free gum after meals reduces plaque pH drops by up to 40%. Products with nano hydroxyapatite have been shown to remineralize early lesions and reduce white spot appearance by up to 50% in 3 months.
Why choose Enamio: Enamio combines nano hydroxyapatite with xylitol and supportive minerals, providing both acid neutralization and active mineral delivery in one step. View research | Try Enamio
Can I remineralize a cavity?
You can remineralize early lesions (white spots, surface softening) before they cavitate. Once a cavity forms a hole through the enamel, it requires professional dental treatment.
How Enamio helps: Regular use after meals supports the critical early-stage repair window, potentially preventing progression to cavities. Best results come from combining Enamio with fluoride toothpaste and good oral hygiene.
Can hydroxyapatite reverse cavities?
Hydroxyapatite can remineralize and reverse early-stage decay (incipient lesions) that haven't broken through the enamel surface. Studies show it can reduce lesion depth by 10-50%. It cannot repair cavitated lesions that have formed holes.
How Enamio maximizes effectiveness: We use 20 nm particles for optimal penetration, combined with calcium and phosphate cofactors to maintain the mineral saturation needed for remineralization.
Can gum reverse cavities?
Chewing sugar-free gum stimulates saliva, which naturally contains minerals and buffers acids. This can help halt and reverse very early decay. Gum with added minerals like Enamio provides additional remineralization support, but cannot fix cavitated lesions.
Why Enamio stands out: Most gums only stimulate saliva. Enamio adds bioavailable minerals directly to the oral environment during the critical post-meal acid challenge.
Can you rebuild tooth enamel?
Enamel can remineralize and regain hardness when the surface structure is intact. Once enamel is completely lost in an area, it cannot regenerate—teeth lack the cells to produce new enamel after development.
How Enamio fits: Regular use supplies the exact mineral (hydroxyapatite) that comprises 97% of enamel, supporting natural repair processes. See Enamio Remineralizing Gum
How quickly can teeth remineralize?
Remineralization begins immediately when conditions are right (neutral pH, mineral availability). Visible improvements in white spots typically take 3-6 months of consistent care. Saliva naturally remineralizes at about 0.1 μm per day under ideal conditions.
Enamio accelerates the process: By providing bioavailable minerals during the 20-minute post-meal window when your teeth need them most.
How long does it take for teeth to recover after eating?
Oral pH drops within 2-5 minutes after eating and can remain acidic for 20-60 minutes. Enamel begins demineralizing below pH 5.5. Chewing sugar-free gum can restore neutral pH in about 20 minutes versus 40+ minutes without intervention.
Why Enamio timing matters: Chewing immediately after meals neutralizes acids faster while delivering remineralizing minerals when uptake is highest.
How long do the benefits last after I stop chewing?
Elevated saliva flow returns to baseline within 5-10 minutes after chewing stops. However, the minerals deposited and pH normalization achieved during your 20-minute chew session create conditions for continued remineralization between meals.
Practical tip: Consistency is key. Daily use after each meal maintains a positive mineral balance. Keep a pouch handy for best results.
Does Enamio help with tooth sensitivity?
Yes. Nano hydroxyapatite has been clinically shown to reduce dentin hypersensitivity by occluding exposed dentinal tubules. Many users report noticeable improvement within 2-4 weeks of regular use.
How it works: The 20 nm particles are small enough to penetrate and seal microscopic tubules that cause sensitivity when exposed.
How to use
How often should I chew Enamio?
Chew 1-3 pieces daily, ideally after each main meal. Most users follow this routine:
- 1 piece after breakfast
- 1 piece after lunch
- 1 piece after dinner
Pro tip: Consistency matters more than quantity. Daily use after meals provides better results than sporadic heavy use. See complete usage guide
When should I chew Enamio?
Optimal times:
- Immediately after meals (best for acid neutralization)
- After acidic drinks (coffee, soda, wine, citrus)
- After sugary snacks
- Mid-afternoon for dry mouth relief
- After vomiting (pregnancy, illness) to neutralize stomach acid
Tip: Keep pouches in multiple locations—desk, car, bag—for convenience.
How long should I chew?
Chew for 20 minutes for optimal benefits. This duration:
- Neutralizes post-meal acids completely
- Maximizes mineral contact time
- Stimulates adequate saliva flow
- Matches clinical study protocols
Note: Flavor may fade before 20 minutes—continue chewing for full benefits.
Should I brush before or after gum?
Recommended sequence:
- After meals: Chew Enamio first, wait 30 minutes, then brush if desired
- Morning: Brush first, eat breakfast, then chew Enamio
- Night: Chew after dinner, brush with fluoride toothpaste before bed, don't rinse
This maximizes both mechanical cleaning and mineral availability.
Should I chew Enamio before bed?
Chew after your last meal or snack, but complete chewing before your bedtime brush. Never sleep with gum in your mouth (choking hazard). For overnight protection, brush with fluoride toothpaste after chewing and don't rinse—this leaves protective minerals on teeth during sleep.
What foods should I limit while trying to remineralize?
Minimize:
- Frequent sugar exposure (especially sticky candies)
- Constant sipping of acidic drinks (soda, sports drinks, citrus)
- Grazing throughout the day
- Acidic foods without neutralization
Better habits: Consolidate eating into meals, rinse with water after acids, and always follow with Enamio to neutralize and remineralize.
How many pieces should I use to see results?
Most users notice fresher breath immediately and reduced sensitivity within 2-4 weeks with 1-3 pieces daily. White spot improvements typically appear after 8-12 weeks of consistent use.
Each pouch contains 18 pieces—a 6-18 day supply depending on usage. Order pouches | Subscribe & save 10%
Can I chew Enamio with braces, aligners, crowns, or implants?
Guidelines by situation:
- Clear aligners: Remove before chewing, clean teeth, reinsert aligners
- Traditional braces: Generally safe, but check with your orthodontist
- Crowns/bridges: Safe to use; won't affect restorations
- Implants: Safe and beneficial for surrounding natural teeth
- Recent dental work: Wait 24-48 hours or as directed by your dentist
- Dentures: Remove before chewing
When in doubt, consult your dental provider.
Safety and kids
Is chewing gum with xylitol safe?
Yes, xylitol is FDA-approved and has been safely used in foods since the 1960s. Some people may experience mild digestive effects with excessive consumption (over 20g daily). Enamio contains about 1g per piece.
⚠️ Pet warning: Xylitol is toxic to dogs. Keep all xylitol products away from pets. If a dog ingests xylitol, seek emergency veterinary care immediately.
Is Enamio safe for kids? What age can children start?
Children who can safely chew gum without swallowing (typically age 5+) can use Enamio. The ingredients are safe if occasionally swallowed in small amounts, but gum should be disposed of properly.
Age guidelines:
- Under 5: Not recommended (choking hazard)
- Ages 5-7: With direct supervision
- Ages 8+: Can typically use independently
Consult your pediatric dentist for personalized advice.
What happens if I chew gum every day?
Daily sugar-free gum use is beneficial for most people, supporting:
- 40% reduction in cavity risk
- Fresher breath
- Increased saliva production
- Better acid neutralization
Potential considerations: Excessive chewing (>2 hours daily) may cause jaw fatigue. If you have TMJ issues, start slowly and monitor comfort.
What if I accidentally swallow Enamio gum?
Don't worry. While gum base isn't digestible, it passes through your system harmlessly in 1-3 days. The minerals and sweeteners in Enamio are food-grade and safe if ingested. The myth about gum staying in your stomach for 7 years is false.
Can a dead tooth be remineralized?
No. A tooth with a dead (necrotic) pulp cannot be remineralized and requires professional treatment—typically root canal therapy or extraction. Signs include severe pain, discoloration, or abscess. See a dentist immediately if you suspect a dead tooth.
Can you remineralize a cracked tooth?
No. Cracks are structural damage requiring professional repair. While remineralization can strengthen surrounding enamel, it cannot fuse cracks. See your dentist promptly—untreated cracks can lead to infection or tooth loss.
Emergency care: Rinse with warm water, apply cold compress for swelling, avoid chewing on that tooth.
Will this gum make my TMJ worse?
Most people with TMJ tolerate Enamio well because we don't use tough mastic gum—our chicle base has a similar texture to conventional gum. However:
- Start with 5-10 minute sessions
- Chew gently, alternating sides
- Stop if you experience pain
- Consider letting gum soften in your mouth before active chewing
Consult your dentist or TMJ specialist for personalized guidance.
Are there any side effects?
Enamio is well-tolerated by most users. Possible effects:
- Common (usually temporary): Increased salivation, mild laxative effect from xylitol if overconsumed
- Rare: Jaw fatigue from overuse, allergic reaction to natural flavors
- Not side effects but normal: Texture changes as you chew, flavor fading before 20 minutes
Discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider if you experience unexpected reactions.
Gum tissue health
What do dentists recommend for repairing gums?
Professional treatment depends on severity but typically includes:
- Deep cleaning (scaling and root planing)
- Improved daily hygiene (brushing 2x, flossing 1x)
- Antimicrobial rinses
- Surgical intervention for advanced cases
- Addressing risk factors (smoking, diabetes)
Where Enamio helps: Xylitol reduces harmful bacteria, while increased saliva flow supports gum health. Use alongside professional treatment, not as replacement.
Can I reattach my gums to my teeth naturally?
Lost gum attachment (recession) generally doesn't regenerate naturally. Professional treatments like grafting may restore coverage. However, early gingivitis is reversible with improved hygiene.
Prevention focus: Use Enamio to support a healthy oral environment while following your periodontist's treatment plan.
Can I use Enamio if my gums bleed?
Yes, but bleeding gums indicate inflammation requiring professional attention. Enamio's xylitol may help reduce bacterial load, but it doesn't replace proper gum disease treatment. See your dentist if bleeding persists beyond 2 weeks of improved hygiene.
