Chewing Gum Helps
Improve Oral Health
Chewing sugar-free gum after eating is clinically proven to be an important part of good oral health [Download PDF]. It stimulates the most important natural defense against tooth decay - saliva - which, in turn helps fight cavities, neutralize plaque acids, remineralize enamel to strengthen teeth and wash away food particles.
In fact, according to a study published in the Journal of Dental Research [Download PDF], over the course of two years, children who chewed gum after meals reduced dental cavities by nearly 40 percent compared to non-chewers.1
New research also suggests there may be a relationship between a healthy mouth and overall health.
American Dental Association Seal of Acceptance
Wrigley's Orbit® and Extra® sugar-free chewing gums were the first chewing gums to be awarded the American Dental Association's Seal of Acceptance.1 They have been clinically proven to reduce the risk of cavities, strengthen teeth and reduce harmful plaque acids. The ADA's Seal of Acceptance has been a respected symbol of safety and effectiveness for more than 75 years. The organization awarded its Seal of Acceptance to Wrigley after a thorough analysis of nearly 20 years' worth of independent proprietary scientific research which demonstrated that chewing these Wrigley gums helped to protect oral health.
