This Is How Chewing Gum Affects Your Health

Your dental health is the first party to receive its share of the effects, resulting from chewing gum. If you consume sugary gums all the time and every time you crave something sweet or feel stressed, your dental health products will be used in vain.

The sugar that you get from the gum is digested by the bad bacteria found in your mouth. The more time you spend in chewing gum, the more plaque buildup on the teeth you will experience.

This plaque buildup results in tooth decay which will likely necessitate dental health services and dental checkups. If you have to chew gum for some reason, choose at least the 100%-sugar-free kinds.
