Can you replace chewing gum with brushing your teeth?

Best Answers

I would not recommend chewing gum as an alternative to brushing or flossing. as per the recent studies(done by billion dollars gum companies) , chewing gum can trap and remove bacteria from the mouth. But that's not all, if you chew more than 1 minute, bacteria are released back into the mouth. read more

Absolutely not. Chewing gum helps increase the salivary secretion which is a self-cleaning way of your mouth. You can chew a sugar-free gum after every meal. But there is not way that it can replace teeth brushing. Brushing can clean your mouth more thoroughly. read more
