Dental caries and periodontal diseases have historically been considered the most important global oral health burdens. Hence, the dental health care needs to apply strategies for prevention of oral health problems. Chewing gum gained interest due to its ability to stimulate salivation and accelerate the clearance of fermentable carbohydrates from the dietary intake. Chewing gum with Xylitol has received special attention due to its mechanical cleaning together with saliva stimulation. These actions could lead to a therapeutic, caries lowering action and various other oral health benefits.
