Benifits of Chewing gum

Chewing gum is a confectionery product which provides a good taste over a long period of time and provides a number of benefits, breath freshening, dental benefits and tooth whitening. It also helps people concentrate, eases stress, reduces dry mouth, is a low-calorie snack and helps people to stop smoking.

When chewing gum your mouth produces saliva, which helps neutralize acids from foods that may cause tooth decay.
Chewing sugar-free gum has been shown to stimulate the production of saliva by up to ten times the normal rate. Saliva neutralises plaque acid in the mouth and helps reduce the risk of dental caries by up to 40%. The saliva also helps repair early dental lesions through remineralisation of the tooth’s surface. Dental professionals recommend sugar-free gum as an aid to oral health and to prevent tooth decay.
A UK study by the University of York Health Economics Consortium investigating the economic impact of chewing sugarfree gum concluded that if the entire British population chewed sugarfree gum, the National Health Service (NHS) could save over £100 million per year on dental care.
