#3 Chewing Gum Might Be Good For You
Despite the fact that many dental professionals may advise against it, there are some types of sugar-free gum that contain the sweetener xylitol which may be good for your gums and teeth. That is why xylitol is also used to sweeten toothpaste because it helps fight harmful bacteria and keep things clean.Â
Bacterial acidity in the mouth, which can cause tooth decay and gum disease, can be neutralized by chewing gum that contains xylitol. This helps to reduce plaque, enhance saliva flow, and prevent oral health problems like gum disease and tooth decay.
Chewing gum can significantly improve your oral health; it can also be a great way to maintain a healthy smile and improve your oral hygiene. But it’s crucial to pick the proper gum and to pay attention to how much you chew. It is advised to limit gum chewing to 20 minutes at a time and to stay away from chewing gum that is too hard or sticky, because these gums can harm your teeth or jaw.

Very good advices.Thank you.
Good information. I hate to do this but I’m going to be taking care of my teeth without the dentist from now on. I recently moved and have a very good dental insurance plan. The new dentist claims he saw a crack in my lower crown. Long story short, and over $3000 out of pocket later, he cracked the molar next to the crown while trying to fix it. So first crown was replaced and second tooth repaired. But when he was working on the second tooth, he cracked the one next to it! Still waiting over a month for him to fix this but my calls are never returned. So now the dental company is involved and I was told I may need a lawyer.
Get a good personal injury lawyer and sue his ass but good. Sounds to me like a whole lot of pain and suffering and irreparable damage to two otherwise healthy teeth, which will now require preventative care for the rest of your life. Even more damaging if you’re young!
I am in my mid 80’s getting my teeth cleaned soon. My dentist said I have a cavity under my crown
in fact two crowns. very expensive to repairs even with insurance don’t have the finds. Should I bother?
please respond.
