Nashville, Tenn. (PRWEB) -- National dental care expert, Dr. Chris Kammer, appeared Saturday at a Whole Foods in Tennessee in connection with Aquation, a bottled water with xylitol, an ingredient that provides the dental benefits of fluoridated tap water without the harmful side effects.

A founding member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, Dr. Kammer’s career has focused on introducing and implementing new dental treatment technologies. His work with the oral-systemic approach has provided increased resistance to chronic disease, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, as well as pre-term birth and obesity.

Oral systemics is based upon evidence that oral bacteria frequently enter the system and give rise to inflammation that become risk factors in a wide range of health problems. This inflammation occurs with periodontal disease, which is often without symptoms and is now present to some degree in approximately 80% of adult Americans, according to the U.S. Surgeon General.

Kammer, a former chief dental consultant for Reader’s Digest, is a national spokesperson for Aquation bottled water. Aquation is the exclusive water partner with xylitol, a natural ingredient that restores proper pH to the mouth, decreasing the incidence of gingivitis, plaque and dental decay, all of which can lead to systemic health problems. Studies have shown that xylitol reverses the destructive effects of sugar on oral health in both the very young and those over 50.
