It also stimulates 10x the normal rate of saliva flow, which helps wash away food debris and reduce acids in your mouth that can erode tooth enamel. Now, on the contrary there are opposite sides to these benefits. I'll let you choose your own opinion ... I myself am a gum chewer, not often but for me it helps me in stressful situations instead of grinding my teeth. I chew "pur" gum or Georganics and honestly, I feel bad when I do because firstly how is gum even disposed. Secondly, I think about the impact I have on planet earth and if only 100 people chewed one piece, a day, over a year, the amount of garbage it produces is disgusting and harmful. I often find myself battling back and forth with my opinion on gum. I thought I would write a blog, which would force me to research & share my knowledge on this sticky rubber-like substance that most of us don't think twice about. When should I chew gum? It’s best to chew gum right after eating; chewing for up to 20 minutes increases saliva flow and helps cancel out acid. Quick Dental Tip: Plaque starts to form half an hour after cleaning your teeth. So unless you're walking around brushing those choppers every 30 mins, you will have some plaque.
So, why does this even matter? Saliva is the buffer between the acids that could otherwise soften teeth enamel. Additionally, saliva contributes proteins to dental surfaces, protecting against dental erosion. Now that I mentioned acid…. Firstly you need to know that critical value for enamel dissolution is PH of 5.5. To put some things in scale for you...  When the PH of plaque drops below this critical value, enamel demineralization occurs; meaning gum with a PH lower than 5.5 may contribute to enamel erosion.
WAIT WHAT ARE NEOTAME AND SACCHARIN, how do I even pronounce these ... google? as·par·tame noun a very sweet substance used as an artificial sweetener, chiefly in low-calorie products. It is a derivative of aspartic acid and phenylalanine. ne·o·tame is a derivative of a dipeptide compound of the amino acids – aspartic acid and phenylalanine. Neotame has been developed as a sweetener with a high degree of sweetness and is obtained by N-alkylating aspartame. Its degree of sweetness varies according to the kind of food and blend composition. It is 7000–13 000 times and about 30–60 times sweeter than sugar and aspartame, respectively. - ( wait what ... ew ) sac·cha·rin noun a sweet-tasting synthetic compound used in food and drink as a substitute for sugar. ste·vi·a noun a composite herb native to South America (Genus Stevia, especially S. rebaudiana, native to Paraguay) whose leaves are the source of a noncaloric sweetener.

 | Anti-aspartame activists claim there's a link between aspartame and a multitude of aliments including:
|
Research is ongoing to confirm or invalidate connections between these aliments and aspartame, but currently there is inconsistent outcomes in studies. Some research reports increased risk, symptoms, disease acceleration, while others report no negative outcomes with aspartame intake.
| The controversy over aspartame continues. Available evidence doesn't suggest long-term negative effects, but research is ongoing. Before you switch back to sugar (which is high in calories and has no nutritional value), you can consider natural alternatives to aspartame. You may try sweetening foods and beverages with:

Gums that I chew Pur & Georganics ( not sponsored)
It's their simple ingredients for me. Now I'll probably cut down due to research.
Now I'm even thinking, I should probably purchase all these various gum brands and test their PH levels after chewing and spitting in a cup ... New Blog Topic, I think so ...
Also, I learned that TODAY 2021 - the base most used for gum products is a blend of synthetic materials (elastomers, resins, and waxes) flavour, colours, and sweeteners.

Chewing gum has been around since ancient times.
THE GREEKS - chewed sap from the mastic tree
THE MAYANS - chewed sap from the sapodilla tree
THE NATIVE AMERICANS FROM ENGLAND - chewed spurge sap; a habit they passed on to European settlers.

Ok Parent's Let's Break It Down
Written by Ana Bogdanovic
Phase ONE Teething Begins
Infants will begin to teeth, or grow brand new teeth, as early as three months. It’s typical for the front teeth to appear before canines or molars. This is in order to provide the infant with a method of breaking food down.
Start by cleaning your baby’s teeth when they appear (6 months), by using a cloth or soft baby toothbrush and warm water. At about 18 months start using a pea sized amount of toothpaste after brushing, but do not use an oral rinse. I would suggest you use only organic products, and fluoride free toothpaste.

YES, I said it Fluoride Free
Furthermore, fluoride causes cancer, brittle bones, dental fluorosis (white spots on the teeth), and neurological impairment. If a child swallows more than a pea-size amount of fluoride toothpaste, the product label advises calling the poison control center.
But the main concern for me is the fluoride blocks the pineal gland.

States: The pineal gland is an endocrine gland whose main function is the biosynthesis and secretion of melatonin, a hormone responsible for regulating circadian rhythms, e.g., the sleep/wake cycle. Due to its exceptionally high vascularization and its location outside the blood–brain barrier, the pineal gland may accumulate significant amounts of calcium and fluoride, making it the most fluoride-saturated organ of the human body. Both the calcification and accumulation of fluoride may result in melatonin deficiency.

Phase TWO Teething Ends
Toddlers should have a full set of teeth by the age of three. If this is not the case, they need to see a paediatrician or dentist. The completed growth of baby teeth is important because it sets how their adult teeth will grow. If there are issues with the baby teeth, like overlapping or an over/under bite, be sure to see a dentist.
Phase THREE Loosing Baby Teeth
Children will start to lose their baby teeth around age six. They will continue to lose teeth and grow their adult teeth for the next few years. This is the opportune time for the tooth fairy to appear!
Fairy Origins
The idea of a fairy who quietly swaps a child’s tooth for money or a small gift overnight isn’t a very old one, but there have been traditions associated with children losing their first tooth since the time of the Vikings, when the teeth were often buried to ensure a happy life for the child or considered good luck in battle. These days, many cultures have the Tooth Fairy or a Tooth Mouse, but exactly how the tradition operates varies from household to household.
Fun Tooth Fairy Ideas
Fairy Dust: Sprinkle a coating of glitter over the Tooth Fairy money to make it seem like it’s covered in magical fairy dust!
Tooth Fairy note: Leave a signed note from the Tooth Fairy to let your child know they’re doing a great job on their oral hygiene and encourage them to keep it up!

Phase FOUR Braces
Usually, all the baby teeth are lost by the time a child is at the pre-teen stage of 12. This is an excellent time to consider braces if there are any spacing issues with your child’s teeth. Since their bodies will continue to grow and develop as a young adult, braces will help “set” their teeth to be aligned and straight. Newly attained adult teeth of a pre-teen are more easily set straight by braces than when the child grows to adulthood.
Keep up with the blog, I'll be talking about traditional braces v.s. the new Invisilign.
Phase FIVE Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth will grow naturally after the rest of the adult teeth, around ages 18 to 24.

To Pull or Not to Pull
All your life you’ve been cautioned to take care of your teeth. Brush, floss, rinse, repeat.
Morning and night, you’ve taken care of your pearly whites. And suddenly, we’re talking about taking teeth out.
If you have enough room for the teeth to fully come in and you can clean them, you should probably keep them. Most people opt for early removal to reduce complications and keep dental problems from occurring.
Don’t get too excited though. Most people will need to have their wisdom teeth removed.
