About Dr. Dave Chotiner, DDS

The dentist who asked a different question

Dr. Dave Chotiner is a practicing dentist, educator, and lifelong student of preventive oral health. For years, he’s worked with thousands of patients in a high-volume dental practice, seeing the same pattern repeat itself over and over again:

People want healthy mouths.
They just don’t always follow perfect routines.

Brushing gets skipped. Flossing falls off. Life gets busy. And the space between dental visits becomes a quiet breeding ground for plaque, bacteria, and long-term oral health issues that most people don’t even realize are forming.

Dr. Dave didn’t see this as a failure of discipline.
He saw it as a failure of tools.

“What’s the laziest thing someone can do for their oral health?”

That question changed everything.

As Dr. Dave puts it:

“The whole thing came about of, hey, Dave, what’s the laziest thing somebody can do for their oral health? And I’m like, chew gum. Boom. There it is.”

Chewing gum is already a habit. It’s something people actually enjoy doing. Dr. Dave realized that if gum could be reformulated to do real work—not just freshen breath—it could become one of the most effective in-between solutions for oral care that most people would actually stick with.

Not a replacement for dentistry.
But a powerful bridge between visits.

From clinical insight to real-world solution

Dr. Dave’s philosophy has always centered on prevention and education. Beyond his practice, he has spent years teaching and speaking in continuing dental education, presenting to professional organizations, and helping other clinicians understand the deep connection between oral health and systemic health.

As he explains:

“Anything that supports a healthy oral microbiome—either promoting good bacteria or mitigating the bad—has downstream effects to your overall health. Your arteries. Everything.”

That belief shaped RevitaBite from day one.

This wasn’t about making another gum.
It was about building a functional oral care supplement people would actually use.

The science-backed formulation, built by hand

RevitaBite was developed with a very specific goal: deliver meaningful oral health benefits through ingredients dentists already trust, in a format people enjoy.

The proprietary liquid center formula combines:

Xylitol to help mitigate cavity-causing bacteria
Hydroxyapatite to support enamel remineralization
MCT oil to support antibacterial balance and oral comfort

Dr. Dave personally oversaw every step of the process—from ingredient sourcing to flavor balance to texture.

He didn’t outsource taste testing. He did it himself.

“He made me like five different goopy vials of fill. I cut the gum in half, mixed it with the xylitol shell, and tested everything together. One of them was really spicy, really intense. I loved it.”

Then came the feedback.

“I gave it to about 100 people. Had them scan a QR code and tell me what they thought. About 10% said it was too intense. So I dialed it down. And then everyone loved it.”

That balance—clinical effectiveness without sacrificing enjoyment—is why RevitaBite feels different the first time you chew it.

As Dr. Dave describes it:

“When you chew this gum after eating, you’re like, holy sh*t. Stuff tastes amazing. I feel like I just went to the dentist. This actually does something.”

Built the hard way, on purpose

Functional gum with a liquid core is not easy to manufacture. The process is complex, the ingredients are expensive, and there’s waste along the way. But Dr. Dave refused to cut corners.

The gum had to be larger to hold the active liquid center. The texture had to be sticky enough to help lift surface stains, but comfortable in the mouth. Packaging had to evolve when early solutions didn’t meet quality standards.

There were setbacks. Frustrations. Do-overs.

But the outcome is intentional.

“The manufacturing of this gum is not easy. There’s a lot of waste. The ingredients are expensive. That’s why it’s a premium product.”

RevitaBite exists because Dr. Dave insisted it work, not because it was easy to make.

A dentist who stands behind the product

Dr. Dave isn’t a spokesperson. He’s the formulator, the tester, and the person putting his professional reputation behind every pouch.

He uses RevitaBite himself. He gives it to patients. He listens to feedback and refines the product accordingly.

“I’m very eager to do whatever I have to do to get this to the level it needs to be.”

That commitment shows up not just in the product, but in the mission.

RevitaBite isn’t about perfect routines or dental guilt.
It’s about helping real people maintain better oral health, especially in the moments where brushing and flossing don’t happen.

More than white teeth

At its core, RevitaBite reflects Dr. Dave’s broader belief:

Oral health isn’t just about smiles.
It’s about confidence, comfort, and long-term health.

The mouth is the gateway to the body. Supporting it consistently, even imperfectly, can have meaningful effects far beyond teeth and gums.

RevitaBite exists to make that support easier.
