Doctor told about the most harmful product for teeth
Chewing gum is one of the most popular products that provides some benefits.
For example, it increases salivation and makes the process of self-cleaning of the oral cavity easier. Blood flow in the gums improves. Mild stress is relieved.
Dental surgeon Artem Kharlamov spoke about this in a conversation with representatives of Lenta.ru .
But the doctor also noted that chewing gum is also the most harmful product for teeth, and all the advantages easily turn into disadvantages if you forget about some nuances.
He noted that one should not chew such a product for a long time and regularly, especially on an empty stomach. This can provoke gastritis or an ulcer.
In addition, chewing gum may contain sugar, which can cause tooth decay.
The composition may contain flavor enhancers and colorings that provoke allergies.
The product is contraindicated for pregnant women, children, patients with temporomandibular joint diseases, as well as those who have problems with gums and teeth.
