Does chewing gum, prevent cavities?!


Question:

Does chewing gum, prevent cavities?

I brush once. I chew gum. daily. Since, the gum chewing, I will be honest, no cavities on last dental appointment. I always had cavities. Every appointment, I went to. Always one. Since, the gum chewing. No more cavities. Don't go by my experience, tell me your thoughts on gum chewing and preventing cavities.


Answers:

It definitely helps, only when it is sugar free gum. It stimulates the saliva which helps to naturally clean the teeth. By the way, you should brush at least 2x a day and floss too.....
