Using sugar-free chewing gum could improve oral health

Using sugar-free chewing gum could reduce dental caries and improve our oral health, Wrigley says. Its latest study claims chewing gum is better for our oral health than education and supervised tooth brushing alone. The study compared levels of dental caries in adults and children. It compared those who use sugar-free chewing gum and those who use alternatives such as lozenges, candies, rinses and tablets. ‘This new King’s College London study reinforces the important role sugar-free chewing gum can play in improving oral health for people around the world,’ Dr Mike Dodds, lead oral health scientist at Wrigley Oral Healthcare Program, said. ‘It is important we look beyond brushing alone to find additional ways to protect our teeth and mouth. ‘
