SKOR.id - Terdapat mitos-mitos kesehatan gigi yang mucul di berbagai belahan dunia yang masih belum diketahui benar atau tidaknya.

Salah satunya adalah mitos yang mengatakan bahwa permen karet yang bisa menjaga kesehatan gigi dan mulut.

Menurut penelitian yang dilakukan Pradnya Kakodkar dan Soniya Mulay mengunyah permen karet bisa menggantikan kegiatan menggosok gigi.

Tentunya permen karet yang dimaksud adalah yang bebas gula yang kini sudah banyak tersedia di pasaran.

Caranya juga cukup sederhana dengan mengunyah permen karet sehingga menghasilkan air liur yang banyak.

Air liur yang banyak tersebut akan membantu membersihkan gula, asam, dan sisa makanan di dalam mulut yang bisa berubah menjadi plak.

Dengan mengurangi gula, asam dan bakteri di mulut Anda, seseorang akan terbantu mencegah perkembangan plak, gigi berlubang dan kerusakan gigi.

Mungkin banyak yang memperhatikan bahwa beberapa permen karet bebas gula dimaniskan dengan sesuatu yang disebut xylitol.

Pengganti gula alami ini memiliki beberapa manfaat kesehatan, termasuk membantu menjaga kebersihan mulut.

Xylitol membantu mencegah pertumbuhan Streptococcus mutans, salah satu bakteri mulut penyebab gigi berlubang.

Dengan adanya xylitol, bakteri kehilangan kemampuan untuk menempel pada gigi, menghambat proses penyebab gigi berlubang.

Tetapi penelitian tersebut menyimpulkan harus tetap mempertahankan sika gigi dengan menggunakan pasta gigi untuk bisa tetap mempertahankan kebersihan gigi secara maksimal.
