Why is it whenever i eat gummy candy my teeth feel better afterwards?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Interesting!: This is quite uncommon, but maybe there is a reason.... I'm not clear what is meant by that your teeth "feel better"--feel cleaner? Or some low-grade discomfort goes away? Eating 'gummy' or chewy things activate the tooth's "suspension" mechanisms, so to speak. As a result, blood supply and fluid around it gets "pumped", which is a positive thing for oral health, but not candies aren't...!
