pHresh TeepH after-lunch gum in three flavors—Berry Blast, Watermelon Wave and Tropical Twist—shown as cream boxes with individually wrapped pieces and fresh fruit

After-lunch gum for kids

Big flavor. A smarter after-lunch routine.

Lunch ends. The reset begins.

Chewing gets saliva flowing, and bicarbonate helps neutralize the acid that builds up after eating. Sugar-free, and made for kids.

The science

What happens after lunch.

Every time kids eat, bacteria in plaque turn leftover sugars and starches into acid. At home, brushing helps clear the way. At school, the mouth is on its own until the final bell.

Chewing after lunch No chewingSimplified illustration of the after-meal pH pattern described in dental research. Not a measurement of a specific product.

3 min
The acid dip
Within minutes of eating, plaque pH can drop below 5.5—the point where enamel starts to lose minerals.¹
10–12×
Chewing wakes up saliva
Chewing gum boosts saliva flow to 10–12 times its resting rate. That saliva carries bicarbonate, calcium and phosphate—the mouth’s own buffer and repair crew.²
2.6×
Bicarbonate speeds the reset
In a clinical study, gum with bicarbonate raised plaque pH about 2.6 times faster than the same gum without it—and kept it higher afterward.³

33–39%

fewer new cavities over two years among 583 schoolchildren, ages 8–13, who chewed sugar-free gum for 20 minutes after meals, compared with kids who didn’t.⁴

That after-lunch habit is exactly what pHresh TeepH is built around.

The formula

A little extra in every chew.

Three ingredients, one job: helping their mouth bounce back after lunch.

Xylitol
Sweetness that doesn’t feed the problem
A sugar-free sweetener that cavity-causing bacteria can’t readily turn into acid—so every chew tastes like a treat without acting like one.²
Bicarbonate
The heart of the formula
The same natural buffer found in saliva. In studies, bicarbonate gum lifted saliva pH to about 8, compared with 7.4 for regular sugar-free gum.⁵
Hydroxyapatite
Made from enamel’s own mineral
Tooth enamel is about 96% mineral, mostly hydroxyapatite. We include this tooth-friendly mineral in every piece.⁶

Studies describe sugar-free and bicarbonate gum in general. pHresh TeepH is an addition to brushing and flossing, not a replacement—talk with your child’s dentist about their oral care.

Three flavors

Their flavor. Their little routine.

Three fruit flavors kids actually ask for—each one sugar-free, bicarbonate-powered, and individually wrapped for the lunchbox.

The routine

Pack a little care for after lunch.

Step 1: Pack it.
Tuck a wrapped piece into their lunch. No sink, no water, no toothbrush required.
Step 2: Chew after lunch.
About 20 minutes of chewing—the same after-meal window used in dental studies—wherever school rules allow gum.
Step 3: Keep the good habits.
An addition to brushing and flossing—not a replacement.

Our story

A little of your care, wherever their day takes them.

You help them brush in the morning, pack their lunch, and send them into a busy day. But after lunch, you aren’t there with a toothbrush or a reminder.

pHresh TeepH began with a simple question: could we make that in-between moment easier—and give kids a routine they could enjoy making their own?

So we built it on what dental research already shows: chewing after meals gets saliva flowing, and bicarbonate helps neutralize acid. Then we wrapped it in fruit flavors kids actually ask for.

Because caring for them doesn’t stop when they walk out the door.

FAQs

Chewing gets saliva flowing—up to 10–12 times its resting rate—and saliva is the mouth’s natural acid buffer. pHresh TeepH adds bicarbonate, the same buffer found in saliva, to help bring the mouth back toward a neutral pH after lunch.
