Question

Did you know? In the mouth chewing sugar-free gum produces 7-10× as much saliva as normal. That helps keep the pH of the oral cavity higher — bacterial acids are washed away. Dentists recommend it after meals, especially when you can't brush.

In de mond produceert het kauwen van suikervrije kauwgom 7-10× zoveel speeksel als normaal. Dat helpt de pH van het mondholte hoger te houden — zuren van bacteriën worden weggespoeld. Tandartsen bevelen het aan na maaltijden, vooral als je niet kunt poetsen.
