New Drink Claims to Reduce Dental Plaque

qii is touted as the first drink for oral health and can reduce up to 52% of dental plaque, according to DoseBiome, a Toronto start-up focused on oral microbiome research. qii is made with organic tea and XyVita™, a xylitol-containing formulation that works by reducing acidity and the risk of tooth decay. The drink has a neutral pH of seven that helps to maintain a healthy oral environment.

“The oral microbiome is an emerging area of research centered around the relationship between beneficial and harmful bacteria. Our team is comprised of PhDs from the fields of microbiology, food science and dentistry who are dedicated to finding innovative ways to improve oral health,” says Founder Ted Jin. “In understanding harmful bacteria and how they form plaque, we have effectively found ways to reduce both.”
