Sugarless gum refreshes your breath on the go, but it can also be used as an alternative way to fend off cavities. It works by boosting the flow of saliva in your mouth, which washes away food and neutralizes acids. The saliva also contains additional calcium and phosphate to support the strengthening of enamel. Gums containing sugar also increase saliva flow, but the sugar contained in them is used by plaque bacteria to produce acidic by-products.

Look for chewing gum with the ADA Seal because you can be sure it’s sugarless. All gums with the ADA Seal are sweetened by non-cavity causing sweeteners such as aspartame, xylitol, sorbitol or mannitol.
