Which gum is worst for chewing in terms of sugar and dental hygiene?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sugar Gum is Worse: Any gum with sugar should be avoided. Sugar is immediate food for the bacteria in our mouths that cause cavities. Try a gum that is sugarless and has a natural cavity preventing ingredient called xylitol.
