Chewing Gum: Good or Bad for Your Teeth?🦷
Drs White 32 Dental
Chewing gum is not always bad for your teeth — but the **type of chewing gum and how often you chew it matters.**
If you're choosing chewing gum, look for **Xylitol** on the label. Xylitol-containing sugar-free gum can support oral health by:
• Increasing saliva production
• Helping neutralize acids in the mouth
• Supporting your teeth against cavity-causing factors
• Helping remove some food debris while chewing
But there’s one important **BUT**…
**Excessive chewing can put extra stress on your jaw and may contribute to TMJ-related discomfort in some people.**
So, is chewing gum good or bad?
**The answer depends on what gum you're choosing and how you use it.**
Save this reel so you remember it, and share it with someone who chews gum regularly.
