The present application discloses compositions of chewing gum base that can include at least one thermosensitive polymer. The thermosensitive polymer can include poly(N-isopropylacrylamides) or triblock copolymer polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene-polyoxyethylene. The present application provides for methods of making gum bases and chewing gum formulations.

Disclosed are methods of treating and protecting teeth against erosion by use of oral compositions comprising polymeric mineral surface active agents, metal ions such as stannous and zinc and combinations thereof. The present methods provide improved resistance of teeth to erosive demineralization or dissolution and prevention of tooth damage by subsequent exposure of teeth to erosive chemicals such as acidic foods and beverages.

Chewing gums and pressed mint products which include plant materials such as leaves and fruit slices adhered on their surface are disclosed. Preferably, the chewing gum or pressed mint piece will have at least one side surface of which a major portion of the area is covered or substantially covered one piece or a few pieces of plant material. The piece of plant material may be large enough in area that it may be identified by the consumer, for example as being a mint leaf or a slice of a strawberry.
