D. L. Gambon, H. S. Brand A. V. Nieuw Amerongen Highlights a recently introduced type of candy, so-called candy sprays. They find out that Candy sprays have an extremely low pH (1.9–2.3) and a neutralisable acidity varying between 0.8–1.6 ml . In vivo, candy sprays induced a short-term 3.0 to 5.8-fold increase in salivary flow rate with a concomitant drop in salivary pH to values between 4.4 and 5.8 causing severe form of dental erosion. This information is of use for clinicians counselling juvenile patients with dental erosion and to the general public who is addicted to such form of sweets available in spray form
