In order to freshen your breath, you shouldn't grab the first pack of chewing gum you see from the store shelf.
Instead, take a few minutes of your time to study the composition and choose a useful product that contains a component that helps restore tooth enamel.
What inscription should you look for on the packaging? It turns out that the main thing is that xylitol is on the list of ingredients.
Thanks to this component, the amount of bicarbonates, that is, calcium and phosphorus ions, in saliva increases.
At the same time, acidity in the oral cavity, on the contrary, decreases.
Remineralization of enamel occurs due to the production of calcium and phosphorus derivatives in an alkaline environment.
Please note: chewing gum should not last longer than 10 minutes, so as not to overload the jaw. Another important rule is that chewing gum should only be used after eating, since active chewing stimulates the production of gastric juice.
In order not to provoke the stomach and appetite, follow the recommendations described above. Conditional 5-10 minutes will be enough to secrete a sufficient amount of saliva to wash the teeth.
