✓ It's fun for kids and safe for your gums!

Have your dentures started changing color or showing signs of yellowing? Dentures can become stained and discolored even though it’s not necessarily ‘real’ teeth. If you’re looking to keep them looking bright and clean, brush your dentures with a soft-bristled brush and mild soap or denture cleaner. Avoid using hot water or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage your dentures. 🦷

Is chewing gum good for your teeth? The answer is...it depends! While chewing gum can help freshen your breath and stimulate saliva production, not all gums are created equal. When choosing gum, opt for gums that are sugar-free and contain xylitol, a natural sweetener that can help reduce the number of harmful bacteria in your mouth.

Chewing some gum after a meal has a benefit too by neutralizing acid production which can reduce harmful bacteria in the mouth. So go ahead and chew, but choose your gum wisely and don't forget to brush and floss regularly! 🦷
