Sugarfree Chewing Gum and Oral Health

摘要

Sugarfree chewing gum has become known as the tooth-friendly confection, consumption of which will not lead the child or adult to the dentist's office. As a result of this, chewing gum is increasingly being viewed as a delivery system for many substances that could potentially provide direct oral care benefits. The aim of this article is to summarize the known oral care benefits of sugarfree chewing, as well as some of the limitations of this method of complementing regular oral care, along with some possible future directions.
