3. The health benefits of gum chewing are under debate.
 Professionals feel it's uncouth.

4.  Teachers think it's disrespectful.
 And some are just worried about where it's going
to end up (like under a table or desk).

5. When it comes to whether or not chewing gum is good for your
oral health, though, you can rest assured that so long as it's
sugarless, it can be good for you.

6. In this article we will discuss
 the benefits of gum chewing and
 the science behind it.

7. CHEWING GUM REPLACES
OTHER SWEETS

8. For those who have dieted it is common to substitute
gum for other sweets and snacks.

9. Naturally, the many flavors of Trident are not a match
for a box of Ferraro Rocher chocolates!

10. But, with some willpower and a steady supply, gum
might just do the trick when it comes to keeping all
that sugar away from your teeth and gums.

11. SALIVA STIMULATION
REDUCES ACID

12. When chewing gum a person increases saliva production.
Saliva washes away any acidic substances in one's mouth.

13. Acid from various foods slowly wears away the enamel that
protects our teeth, so this is very positive benefit.

14. LESS FOOD STUCK IN
YOUR TEETH

15. Lastly, anyone who has chewed gum knows that it gets food
out of teeth. To illustrate, the following is a true story…

16. Madison Avenue dynamo David Khasidy brought his
son River to the dentist one day.
River sat in the chair to have his teeth inspected when
his father said, “Spit out your gum, my little solnyshko".

17. Young River obliged, and on the tiny piece of pink rubbery
gum were bits of brown specks.
It seemed that River's sweet little babushka had given him
a box of Cracker Jack, and the gum had succeeded in
getting a good deal of its caramel remnants off his teeth.

18. This is one reason so many people feel better having gum
instead of mints after a meal.
While a mint can be refreshing, chewing gum clears the
scene.

19. RECOMMENDED GUM CHOICES

20. Please note that this is
not an endorsement for
any one company!

21. So, for those wanting to know
which gum is safe, the following
are some good choices:
 Pür gum
 Simply Gum
 Spry

22. These are chosen simply for having very few ingredients
and no chemicals.
The Simply brand can be found in most grocery stores in
the same aisle as the more upscale coconut bars and sun
butter cups.

23. For those gums found at
checkout with other impulse-
buy items, you can be
comfortable with one of
these:
 Dentyne
 Eclipse

24.  Bubble yum
 Extra
 Mentos Sugar Free Gum
 Ice breakers

25. In closing, it should go without saying that, while
there are benefits to chewing gum, there are also
benefits of drinking water.

26. While saliva can wash out the acid that may be sitting
on your teeth, water can replace soda and sugary
juices without adding more sugar to your diet.

27. Having said that, chewing gum is a good way to keep your
mouth feeling fresh and clean between brushing and flossing.

28. If you are seeking professional dental advice,
it's time to call Shumway Dental Care.

29. Their Chandler dentists will ask you questions,
examine you, and determine exactly what needs to
be done to get you back to normal.
