The American Dental Association maintains a comprehensive website to help consumers identify the highest quality products necessary for maintaining good oral health. While it might seem surprising, this also includes a cursory list of sugar free chewing gums that have earned the ADA’s Seal of Acceptance.
It’s worth noting that the physical activity of chewing gum increases saliva flow and can also help to remove food particles from contours in your tooth enamel, like chewing a piece of gum after a meal. Just be sure to only chew a brand of gum that has earned the American Dental Association’s Seal of Acceptance. Only products that have been researched for safety and effectiveness can legally print the ADA logo on their packaging.
The American Dental Association only approves sugarless gum. This means they are sweetened by substances such as aspartame, sorbitol, or mannitol. These sugarless sweeteners will not promote plaque formation, tooth decay, or periodontal health problems.
The American Dental Association also recommends brushing your teeth twice and flossing once each day. This is the most effective method for clearing away plaque and food particles from your mouth. Attending your regular dental exam at Dr. [doctor_name]’s dental office will also help clean your teeth and monitor the overall health of your mouth.
