How Chewing Gum Affects Your Teeth

Every day we see an advertising of chewing gum. It can be seen on TV, in magazines, newspapers and the metro. Each is telling us about how well a bubble gum effects on the teeth.

How does it work actually? Let's see

Advertisements advise us to use chewing gum after each meal, in order to remove the remains of food from interdental spaces. Actually, chewing gum does not clean teeth as a dental floss or a toothbrush. In addition, bubble gum promotes the secretion of gastric juice, the body gets used to the rapid digestion of food, and if people stop to eat chewing gum, he can get the digestive problems.

Chewing gum can help only if you have no possibility to clean teeth after meals. Gum increases saliva, thus removing a small portion of food debris.

It is not recommended often to use chewing gum because some of chewing gums contain sugar, which can cause tooth decay. It is better to use sugar-free gum. A great advantage of chewing gum is that it removes bad breath. However, when you spit it out, the smell comes back. Contact a dentist, maybe, you have diseases of the teeth or gums that cause this unpleasant smell. NOA Dental Clinic suggests you to visit dental clinics in Dubai.

• Chewing gum should not be use on an empty stomach. Released gastric juice can damage the stomach walls and then cause gastritis and even stomach ulcers. If you have the opportunity, use a dental floss instead of chewing gum.
• Bubble gum can be chewed only 15-20 minutes, then you need to spit it out when it will lose its taste. If during chewing your seal fell out, contact a dentist, who put it. The qualitatively installed seal will not fall out because of chewing gum.
• Of course, bubble gum is a good daily assistant. It complements the oral hygiene, however, do not forget that frequent use of chewing gum can damage your health. Do not also forget that it is necessary to clean teeth twice a day – it will help to keep your teeth strong much longer.
