Northgate Dental

Chewing gum sweetened with sugar actually causes MORE plaque to form, because the germs in the plaque grows best on sugar. Chewing sugarless gum can help keep plaque from growing so much after a meal, but it will NOT get rid of it from places like between your teeth. Only flossing and toothbrushing can do that. Sugarless gum works by causing you to salivate, and that helps in clearing any sugars you ate from your mouth, and thus retarding plaque from growing so much.
