For those who love to chew gum, there is one innovation in the teeth whitening arena that give them many reasons to smile rather brightly. Teeth whitening gum is much like regular chewing gum in composition except for some changes. The gum is made of a gum base and it has flavoring, softening agents, sweeteners, and some amount of water soluble whitening. This whitening can be in the form of potassium or sodium percarbonate, sodium bicarbonate, parsley extract and neem oil. The source of the peroxide is sodium percarbonate which dissolves fast, is water soluble and is able to create hydrogen peroxide that gives the mouth some alkalinity.
In order to make the most out of teeth whitening gum, it should be chewed after meals or after eating any sweet foods. Aside from helping with teeth whitening, the gum also stimulates the production of saliva which help neutralize acid in the mouth that may cause tooth decay.
