Can chewing gum actually keep away plache?!


Question:

Can chewing gum actually keep away plache?

well I am just wondering I don't know for sure it just seemed like a good question


Answers:

Sugar-sweetened gums like Wrigley's Double Mint, Juicy Fruit, etc. will actually cause MORE plaque to form on your teeth-- The germs that make up the plaque grow best on sugar.

Only sugarless gums like Trident, Orbit, etc. will retard plaque growth. They won't actually get rid of plaque though-- You still need to brush and floss the plaque off.

Hope this helps.
