Is Sugar Free Gum Better For Teeth?
No. On the contrary, chewing sugar-free gum could be good for your teeth. One of the biggest benefits is its lack of sugar. Cavities are formed by feeding on bad bacteria in your mouth and they feed on the residual sugars and starches in your mouth. Regular gum is more sugar in your mouth that just dissolves in your saliva. That bacteria in plaque absorbs it and then the bacteria have a lot of energy to reproduce.
Another thing to look for is the sweetener xylitol. This has been shown to prevent the growth of the bacteria that causes tooth decay and bad breath. A study found that gum sweetened with xylitol reduced the number of bad bacteria by up to 75%.
Chewing sugar-free gum could also increase saliva production. This could help with dry mouth, flush out food particles that bacteria feed on, and neutralize acids in the mouth, thereby helping to minimize acid reflux and enamel erosion.
While the American Dental Association approves of sugar-free gum, they also say that it should be chewed in moderation. There is no substitute for good dental hygiene.
Does Sugar Free Gum Have Calories?
Yes. Sugar-free gum averages less than 5 calories per piece.
