The more you do to make sure your oral health care is in optimum condition; the greater the chance that oral health care success can arise in your life. To help ensure your oral health care is at its best, consider alternative techniques to use after eating, including chewing sugarless gum.
Chewing sugarless gum has been shown to promote saliva flow. Saliva is the key ingredient for protecting your smile naturally as it has disease-fighting substances that can help neutralize acids and wash away harmful bacteria. Saliva is also essential for avoiding oral health conditions such as dry mouth, which can drastically increase the rate at which tooth decay can occur.
Studies have shown that chewing sugarless gum for up to 20 minutes after meals can help fight cavities. In addition, sugarless gum can be helpful for treating heartburn as it can neutralize the acids that travel up the esophagus into your mouth.
