Abstract
Gum has become a staple in my daily routine. What started as something I chewed casually after school has evolved into a small yet essential part of how I relax, focus, and stay alert throughout the day. Beyond its familiar chewy texture and refreshing flavors, gum has a surprising hidden benefit - it can actually help prevent cavities. This article will explore what gum really is, the science behind its cavity-fighting abilities, and which types of gum are best for maintaining a healthy smile.
