Could chewing gum good for your oral health? Could something as easy as chewing gum actually be beneficial to your oral health?! The answer is YES! Many people chew gum every day, whether it is a habit, a means to calm nerves, a quick breath freshener before an important appointment, date, or interview, or just because it tastes good! What most of those people don't know, are the benefits of chewing gum, sugar free, that is. In fact, the ADA (American Dental Associaton) has reported that " Chewing sugarless gum has been shown to increase the flow of saliva, thereby reducing plaque acid, strengthening the teeth and reducing tooth decay. Of course, chewing sugar -containing gum also increases saliva flow, but it also contains sugar, which is used by plaque bacteria to produce decay-causing acids." Who knew something so tasty could be so beneficial?! Now, if only chocolate cake had the same benefits. ;)
