Is Chewing Gum Bad for Your Teeth?? | Ask a Dentist.

So is chewing gum good or bad for your teeth?

Clinical studies have shown that chewing sugarless gum for 20 minutes following meals can help prevent tooth decay.

If it's ADA approved or Sugar Free with ingredients like XYLITOL...it's beneficial for your teeth.

Here's a link of some ADA approved gums you can pick up at your nearest grocery store:

I like how dentists try to show there perfect teeth as much as possible.

[pardeepsinghbains]

her teeth are immaculate but of course being a dentist lol

⚡Xylitol⚡ always get the ones with xylitol. It has anticavity effects (the cavity causing bacteria can't digest xylitol... And neither can your pets so keep it away from pets) and it even has respiratory benefits. If trying to avoid aspartame you will need to buy a more specialty gum. At a typical store trident 🔱 is the best bang for your buck. Icebreakers is more expensive but has a higher percentage of its ingredients being xylitol

Of all the oral health strategies, chewing sugarless gum or using xylitol mints has probably been the most dramatic in terms of the benefits. Followed by using mouthwash. Third would be cutting out sugar.

I always wondered about this. Thanks for the info, Doc. Do you have a favorite chewing gum choice?

[Lilyloveselisa]

It’s good for u because it opens up your ear when u chew it

[SpiderMan-xlgh]

Verdict - yes it is good.
Thanks God not me for saving your time.

[chocowaff]

thank you. I hate chewing gum but I’ve been looking into it to strengthen my jaw muscles. I bought some random sugar free gum but I know just because something says sugar free doesn’t mean it’s good for you. Glad I’m educated now 🥳🥳 tysmmm

[vigminitaur]

The artificial sweeteners are bad though. Not to mention the synthetic crud they use to make gum.

[MasterSystemMarceau]

You're telling me swallowing aspartame is good for you??? Come on now... 🤦‍♂️ You don't have to be a Doctor to know how bad aspartame is.

[jamest]

Why does Diet Coke cause cavities if aspartame doesn't?

"You should chew gum for 20 minutes!"

[Berlinda-pq]
