Can trident really help your teeth?

Yes: Sugarless gum increases salivary flow and stimulates the gum tissues. Both are important in keeping the mouth healthy. The saliva is full of enzymes and minerals and is very protective to our teeth.

No: It only helps if you have to chew gum, it is a better alternative to gums with sugar.
