How Chewing Gum Works in Favor of Your Teeth

The benefits of chewing gum Chewing is not just a delicious snack, it helps keep your teeth healthy too! Chewing gum tells our mouth to make more saliva. A main component of a healthy, well-maintained mouth is your own saliva - it helps neutralize the harmful acids bacteria in your mouth produce that cause tooth decay and cavities. The action of gum chewing also helps to clean out food particles and material that find their way in between your teeth, decreasing biofilms as well.

Please keep in mind that not all gums are made the same, a lot of sugary gum is marketed as sugar free and to have dental benefits. Sugar-free gum is a great choice when it comes to taking care of your teeth. Unlike sweet gum, sugar-free varieties do not give the bacteria in your mouth a source of food to grow on and cause you problems such as tooth decay or bleeding gums. In fact, sugar-free gum often includes antimicrobial components such as the xylitol to reduce cavities even more.

When you grab a piece of gum next, be sure to pick up sugar-free for your teeth!

The roots of chewing gum date as far back as thousands of years with origins in ancient civilizations across the globe. Chewing gum had a broad cultural significance as not only an indication of freshness and oral hygiene but also was interestingly enough, element perceived to be marketing social status in certain cultures.

As an example, in ancient Greece and Rome people would chew the resin from the mastic tree to freshen their breath while applying it medicinally. Back then ancient Mayan and Aztec societies chewed the gum formed from chicle, a natural latex which was used both as recreation while cleaning their teeth in-line with keeping things fresh.

By the 19th century, though, with established brands such as Wrigley's and Adams in place, chewing gum had fully showered herself in glory across America. In addition to improving the taste of gum, these companies also brought attention to its benefits and in turn established a culture where chewing gum was mainstream.
