Nonabrasive cleaning tools including mouthwash and chewing gum have been proven effective for cleaning out your mouth after eating meals. By using sugarless chewing gum after meals, you can help produce additional saliva, which is effective for removing plaque and bacteria in your mouth that can contribute to erosion and cavities.
