Ludmila explained that the gum that contains xylitol provides great protection for the teeth against cracking, fracture and precipitation, as it prevents erosion of the enamel layer that covers the surface of the tooth from the outside.
She pointed to the importance of chewing gum with calcium added to it, stressing that it helps reduce the risk of tooth decay, according to Russia Today.
