It says teeth will be noticeably whiter in six weeks.</p> <p>It's made with xylitol, which has been shown to reduce cavities, as well as calcium (remineralizes enamel), and baking soda (an abrasive that reduces stains). I don't think it'll hurt by any means, but I wonder if it'll actually make my teeth whiter. Like how many times per day would I need to chew to see results? Just curious if anyone here has tried it. </p>
