But Dr. Kahn warns against chewing gum as a replacement for regular brushing after meals or for other oral health habits. “The best way to keep your teeth healthy is to brush after each meal and floss daily,” she says. Gum can help with dry mouth (but may not be the best way) The Singapore government outlawed chewing gum in 1992 citing the danger of discarded gum being wedged in the sliding doors of underground trains and general cleanliness. However, in 2004 the government allowed sugarless gum to be sold in pharmacies if a doctor or dentist prescribed it due to the Singapore–United States Free Trade Agreement.

Sugar-free gum contains artificial sweeteners such as aspartame, stevia, xylitol and sorbitol that don’t contribute to tooth decay. In fact, research suggests that chewing sugar-free gum may have some benefits.

However, more research is needed to determine whether chewing gum leads to a difference in weight over the long term. Summary Studies have also found that chewing gum may reduce stress and increase feelings of alertness ( 17, 24, 25). Tooth decay occurs because the bacteria in your mouth break down sugar into acid. The acid eats away at the hard enamel surface of your teeth, a process that creates holes in the enamel and pathways for bacteria to infect your tooth’s dentin layer and pulpal tissues. Eventually, as your tooth decays, it may require a root canal to save it.Eating too much sugar is also associated with a number of health conditions such as obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes ( 45). Chewing gum too often could cause problems with your jaw Notwithstanding the above reports, the effects of chewing gum on cognition and physiology are controversial. For example, the facilitative effects of chewing gum on memory [ 145, 153] have proved difficult to replicate [ 32], as has the accelerating effect of chewing gum on heart rate [ 32, 145]. The context-dependent memory effect demonstrated by Baker et al. [ 165] has not been replicated; thus the effects of chewing gum on context-dependent memory are conflicting [ 165– 169]. In addition, Johnson et al. [ 33] detected no benefits of chewing on cortisol levels, state anxiety, or stress despite using a similar study design as Scholey et al. [ 30]. Torney et al. [ 34] also found no effect of chewing gum on mediating the level of stress experienced or on performance in a solvable anagram task. The anagram task used by Torney et al. [ 34] was only 5min long, much shorter than the task used by Scholey et al. [ 30] (~20min), suggesting that a greater period of chewing is needed to observe a reduction in stress [ 153]. Sweeteners. Cane sugar, beet sugar, and corn syrup are popular sweeteners. Sugar-free gums use sugar alcohols such as xylitol or artificial sweeteners such as aspartame. a b Milgrom, P.; Ly, K.A.; Roberts, M.C.; Rothen, M.; Mueller, G.; Yamaguchi, D.K. (2006).

It appears that most people consume far less than this recommended level. One study that analyzed urine samples from multiple countries estimated that the average daily intake of BHT in adults was only 0.21–31.3 micrograms per kg of body weight ( 5). Titanium dioxide Even in these cases, the amounts are generally much lower than the amounts considered to cause harm. Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) Some older animal studies have linked very high doses of titanium dioxide with nervous system and organ damage in rats ( 6, 7).However, a Dutch study from 2000 assessed the connection between BHT and stomach cancer and found that men and women who consumed BHT in usual amounts had no increased risk ( 3). If you feel that chewing gum helps you in some aspect of your life, Dr. Kahn suggests that you consider weighing those benefits against the potential negative side effects of gum chewing. Look into other ways to relieve stress and improve focus. Nicotine gum can help you quit smoking Food and sucrose have a demineralizing effect upon enamel that has been reduced by adding calcium lactate to food. [41] Calcium lactate added to toothpaste has reduced calculus formation. [42] One study has shown that calcium lactate enhances enamel remineralization when added to xylitol-containing gum, [43] but another study showed no additional remineralization benefit from calcium lactate or other calcium compounds in chewing-gum.

Studies have shown that gum flavor is perceived better in the presence of sweetener. [34] Companies have started to create chemical systems in gum so that the sweetener and flavor release together in a controlled manner during chewing. [35] Cooling sensationConcern has arisen about the possible carcinogenicity of the vinyl acetate (acetic acid ethenyl ester) used by some manufacturers in their gum bases. Currently, the ingredient can be hidden in the catch-all term "gum base". The Canadian government at one point classified the ingredient as a "potentially high hazard substance." [58] However, on 31 January 2010, the Government of Canada's final assessment concluded that exposure to vinyl acetate is not considered to be harmful to human health. [59] This decision under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) was based on new information received during the public comment period, as well as more recent information from the risk assessment conducted by the European Union.
