    I’m pretty sure I’ve seen chewing gum advertised this way.

      Yeah but the US dental association forced them to stop saying that it’s as good as flossing. It’s still good, just not that good.

          If it has Xylitol, it’s actually pretty good because it kills the bacteria that cause cavities.

          i don’t think i’ve ever seen (non-candy) gum that has sugar in it

          then again wrigley has an almost total monopoly on non-candy gum…
