I just get fillings a week ago and can't stand not one able to chew gum... Help!What is the best sugar free gum that won't stick to filling?
I know the passion! I love my chewing gum!! Most sugar free gums are dental safe (they own a logo on them) In Australia Extra or Recaldent chewing gum are the ones I recommend to my patients. The action of chewing gum stimulates saliva which wash the teeth. Recaldent has a milk protein and calcium surrounded by it which help neutralise acids and protect the teeth! You can other ask your local dentist which he/she recommends because he/she's the one who did your filling!! Check out the Recaldent site below!
I would recommend any gum with xylitol (Trident make a lot of flavors). Xylitol is a sugar alcohol that inhibits caries (it in fact slows bacteria that produce cavities). I haven't had any problems next to it sticking to my fillings.
Certainly dont use mastic gum!!
