A member asked:
Is trident spearrmint sugar free gum good for teeth? does it help to prevent cavity as it contains xylitol and mannitol? which xylitol brand gum is best for teeth? is trident clinically proven and ada approved brand?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Any sugar free gum or mints are good. ADA approval is meaningless if you don't practice good oral hygiene and brush, floss and maintain a healthy diet. Chewing the gum helps remove some of the bacteria that causes cavities, but the gum alone is not the answer. A complete healthy lifestyle is what is necessary.
