Take Care of your Teeth on the Go This Summer

Looking after our oral health on the go can sometimes be difficult, especially during the summer months with frequent travel or that summer chocolatey mid-afternoon snack to get you through to dinner time. It all has an impact on your teeth.

Yes we all may brush our teeth for two minutes twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste (in a perfect world), but between the first and last brush our teeth can come under a constant attack if we don't not give our teeth time to recover.  Our teeth are at risk of acid attack after we eat and drink anything, especially if what we consume has sugar in it. This acid is produced by plaque bacteria, and the sugars in our food and drink, which slowly dissolves the enamel and dentine of the tooth leading to cavities forming.

Solution. Try some sugar-free gum. New evidence has shown that incorporating sugar-free gum into our on the go lifestyles can benefit our oral health. Although not a replacement for brushing twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste, chewing after eating or drinking can help our teeth recover quicker and keep your mouth healthy. 

How does Sugar-free gum help your oral health?

The process of chewing sugar-free gum helps the mouth to produce more saliva - the mouth's natural defense against acid; it usually takes our saliva about an hour to replace the minerals that the enamel has lost after eating. But chewing sugar-free gum for 20 minutes after eating or drinking increases the flow of saliva, and helps replace the minerals more quickly. Chewing sugar-free gum during the day can be effective in neutralizing harmful plaque acids and reducing the risk of decay.

Don’t forget to throw a pack of sugar-free gum in your travel bag. Your teeth will thank you.
