In addition, chewing gum induces salivation. Natural saliva contains doses of calcium and phosphate that remineralize enamel and prevent stains from ever appearing. This being said, whitening gums are still not substitutes for the normal dental care recommended by your dentist. Brushing, flossing, abstaining from tobacco products and moderating coffee, tea and soda intake, and getting regular teeth cleanings at your dentist are still the best methods of maintaining a healthy mouth and a bright, beautiful smile.

Under the standards , manufacturers can claim that chewing gum contributes to tooth mineralisation and to the neutralisation of plaque acids.
In addition to sugared and sugar-free gums, there are also functional chewing gums, which are enhanced with minerals or agents that can not only protect against caries, but in some cases can even repair the early stages of caries. This agent has been shown in numerous studies to increase the hardness of softened enamel and protect teeth against caries and erosion.
A clinical trial in found those using gum containing CPP-ACP had a smaller number of tooth surfaces in which caries lesions had developed over the two years of the study. This group also had a greater number of lesions that had regressed, or remineralised. More recent research into the effects of CPP-ACP in chewing gum indicate the agent might not only remineralise teeth, but may also reduce the level of harmful bacteria in the mouth.
A study published earlier this year found a statistically significant reduction in salivary Streptococcus mutans — a bacterium associated with dental caries — in subjects who chewed CPP-ACP gum daily for three weeks. Chewing sugar-free gum can be particularly helpful to people at high risk of tooth decay including people whose oral hygiene may be inadequate and people whose saliva production is affected by medication or health conditions.
