Chewing gum - your way to dental health
Chewing gum is associated with a lot of negative feelings: it sticks to your shoes, constantly glued to the edges of the tables and the backs of chairs, and sometimes may even be in the hair. All doubtful characters in the movie chewed gum, and did so vigorously and noisily. But looking at those who are strong, white teeth, the American Dental Association would support the use of this product. For the third consecutive year, the Association, in partnership with Wrigley, chewing gum manufacturer Orbit, held in October, the National Dental Hygiene Month. This company first stopped using sugar in the production of chewing gum to get the seal of approval of the American Dental Association, but sugar-free gum Dentyne Ice, Stride Sugarless Trident and also approved by the ADA and help maintain oral health. New round of dentistry is to keep your teeth healthy patient, and not to treat them. Keep your mouth clean, eat healthy food - in order to maintain optimal oral health, these factors are key. And one of the simple rules for healthy teeth - the use of chewing gum.
According to the American Dental Association, the physical action of chewing stimulates saliva production, and protects teeth. When food enters the mouth, the bacteria in the mouth produce acid to help start the process of digestion. However, this acid can damage the enamel of the teeth. Natural saliva production slows down as soon as the food is swallowed. When you use chewing gum after meals increases saliva, washing away harmful sugars and acids. Increasing the flow of saliva also carries more calcium and phosphate to help strengthen tooth enamel - these data ADA. "We do not want to actively promote use of chewing gum," - said Dr. Dawn Bogdan, a dentist, - "but gum does produce saliva, so you food particles are washed out." It is important to neutralize the acid formed by particles of food by bacteria. Dr. Bogdan said good chew gum after meals, as opposed to brushing. We used to say that you need to brush your teeth after eating. But it is not as good as it seems at first glance. Because of the acid released in the mouth during eating, brushing after meals can be very abrasive to enamel. "Rinse your mouth with water if you want, or chew gum, but wait at least 20 minutes after eating before you brush your teeth" - recommended by dentists.
Laurie Gibbs, a dental hygienist from the office of Dr. Bohdan, stressed that the gum should be sugar and fruit flavoring. "Fruit flavor contains ascorbic acid, which can be destructive," - says the doctor. "Any gum should be mint and sugar" - advised Gibbs. There is the added benefit of increased production of saliva after eating. It contains calcium, phosphate and fluoride to strengthen teeth and gums. "Thus, the saliva," - she said - "really strengthens teeth. That's where chewing gum can be a good helper to man. " Gum, sugar free, sweetened with xylitol, apparently, the most effective, because the bacteria can not thrive in the xylitol-rich environment. "Clinical studies have shown a reduction in tooth decay up to 80 percent in people who consistently use products sweetened with 100% xylitol," -
