In non-aqueous foodstuffs, the calcium or phosphate ion source should be at least as rapidly soluble as cariogenic, e.g., carbohydrate, components therein. Also provided are mouth rinse solutions comprising a soluble source of calcium or phosphate ions and an osmotically active agent effective in delivering such ions to fluids trapped in salivary retention areas.Field of SearchCarbohydrate containing | |
