Sugar-free gum stimulates the flow of saliva which washes away sugar and leftover bits of food. It removes pieces of food from teeth, too.
There’s another benefit if you are traveling by air or driving to the mountains. That changing air pressure can be painful for kids as their ears adjust. In addition to keeping teeth clean, chewing gum can also help relieve discomfort.
Give your kids their own pack of gum for the ride. Challenge them to a bubble-blowing contest. As a bonus for you, your kids aren’t bothered with boredom, and their mouths will be too busy for bickering!
