Embodiment 1

[0126] *High Fructose Corn Syrup Contains 55% Fructose

[0127] A beverage composition comprising the above components was consumed by a 7-year-old boy for a period of 12 weeks. Prior to this time period, the 7-year-old boy had general dental health relative to a person of similar age. During this time period, the 7-year-old boy had reduced tooth erosion, as measured by enamel erosion and discoloration, compared to a similarly aged person who drank a typical low pH beverage that did not contain the polyphosphate compounds described herein, And tooth discoloration is reduced.

Embodiment 2

[0129] components

[0130] The beverage composition comprising the above components was consumed by a 24-year-old adult for a period of 2 weeks. Prior to this time period, the 24-year-old adult had general dental health relative to people of a similar age. During this time period, the 24-year-old adult has reduced tooth erosion as measured by enamel erosion and discoloration compared to a similarly aged person drinking a cola beverage at a low pH that does not contain a polyphosphate compound described herein, and Teeth discoloration is reduced.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of treating tooth decay, preventing tooth discoloration, or both, comprising orally administering to a mammal, preferably a human, a beverage composition having a pH greater than about 5.5; wherein said beverage composition comprises The compound: wherein n is an integer from about 7 to about 100 on average, and M, M' and M" are each independently selected from sodium and potassium. The present invention also relates to a kit comprising the above beverage composition and the use of said beverage composition substances to provide information on dealing with tooth decay, tooth discoloration, or both.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to a method of treating tooth decay, preventing tooth discoloration, or both, comprising orally administering a beverage composition to a mammal, preferably a human. The beverage composition is preferably non-acidic, ie, has a pH above about 5.5. The invention also relates to a kit comprising said beverage composition. Background of the invention [0002] Beverage compositions, such as non-alcoholic beverages (eg, cola-type beverages) and fruit drinks, have the potential to corrode and often cause tooth discoloration when consumed. Where the beverage composition is acidic in nature, ie, when shown to have a pH of about 5 or below, such tooth erosion and tooth discoloration may occur. Additionally, consumption of this beverage by this population may be of particular concern because children have a lower enamel surface volume and are therefore more susceptible to tooth erosion than adults. Since many consumers drink ac...
