How does sugar-free gum help oral health?

When you can't brush in between meals, sugar-free gum generates saliva in the mouth, which helps remove acid from your teeth. The saliva created by gum chewing can also help reduce bad breath and dry mouth. Many dentists recommend chewing sugarless gum after meals.

Do I have to worry about expiration dates with chewing gum?

Chewing gum contains very little moisture, and it doesn't react with other substances, so it is very shelf stable. While chewing gum may get brittle in texture over time, it should still be safe to chew.

What kind of sugar-free gum is the healthiest?

For the healthiest sugar-free gum, choose products made from xylitol. This natural sweetener comes from fruits, vegetables, and birch trees. You can find gum made with xylitol in sticks, soft rounds, or in candy-coated rounds for kids. If you have dogs in the house, take extra care with gum made from xylitol, as it is very toxic to canines.
