A dental expert has shared the hidden benefits that chewing some sugar-free gym has on your oral health.
Expert Dr Ferakh Hamid, from Aesthetique Dental Care, has shared some of the lesser-known advantages that sugar-free gum has on your teeth.
Including things like fighting cavities and battling against tooth sensitivity, this simple stick of gum has many benefits for your oral health.
Read on below to find out more.
Dr Hamid said: "Chewing sugar-free gum after meals isn't just about fresh breath; it's a proven strategy to fight cavities.
"The increased saliva flow helps neutralise acids and wash away food particles, making it a convenient ally for oral health."
The expert explained: "Aside from its more obvious benefits, sugar-free gum can be a silent hero for those suffering from dry mouth and bad breath. Stimulating saliva production helps alleviate these uncomfortable conditions, offering a simple yet effective remedy.
"Another benefit is its ability to reduce tooth sensitivity, as chewing increases saliva, which can significantly mitigate sensitivity and discomfort."
Dr Hamid added: "Many are surprised that sugar-free gum can bolster tooth enamel, much like fluoride. Opting for gum sweetened with xylitol can reduce the acid left on your teeth and help supply essential minerals back to your enamel. Xylitol also helps prevent plaque bacteria from sticking to teeth and reversing early signs of decay.
"What's interesting is that sugar-free gum can also play a role in protecting against dental erosion. Enhancing saliva production helps neutralise the acids from our diets that can wear away tooth enamel. Chewing sugar-free gum after consuming acidic foods or drinks can provide additional protection for your teeth."
