Like many here I use salt & bi-carb mouthwash and brush my teeth after meals. But when i'm out and about with family or friends, or at work during the week I use chewing gum to keep my mouth & teeth clean. (at work i'll still use the mouthwash, but when i'm out it's just water & chewing gum...)
Anyway, I was originally using the biotene chewing gum. But I've been using 'Extra-Sugar free gum' lately. It's alot cheaper. Just wondering if there's any benefit to using Biotene over other chewing gums that are also sugar free? And am I doing myself any harm by not using the Biotene brand? I've only changed to Extra in the past month..
Cheers, Dave
