can i chew gum after brushing teeth
Hey Cutie, just wanted to ask if it's okay to chew gum after brushing my teeth?
Hello! Yes, it's generally fine to chew gum after brushing. Some types of gum can even help with dental health. But remember, it should not replace brushing your teeth.
So, any specific type of gum you would recommend for this?
Yes, preferably you should go for sugar-free gums. Gums with xylitol, a natural sweetener, are known to reduce tooth decay.
Got it. But won't the gum wash away the fluoride from my toothpaste?
Actually, that's a valid point. To make the most out of fluoride from your toothpaste, you may want to wait a bit, say around 30 minutes after brushing, before chewing gum.
