“You’re chewing gum? I thought you were a dentist!” I hear this joke from time-to-time. I get “caught” with gum fairly often as I chew it several times daily because of the many benefits to your teeth. A lot of people make the assumption that all gum, across the board, is bad for your teeth. Well, don’t worry. If you like chewing gum, you might be doing your mouth a favor!

Dry Mouth
Many people suffer from chronic dry mouth. Dentists call this xerostomia. If you are one of those that can’t seem to keep your mouth moist, you know that it is quite a nuisance, but you should know that the problems with dry mouth go far beyond an annoying issue. Xerostomia could be damaging your teeth and gums.
