the science behind aftergum.

Our gum isn’t just a breath-freshening treat — it’s a smart way to support your oral health with every chew. Here's how it works: When you chew gum, the mechanical action stimulates your mouth's taste receptors, increasing the volume and flow of saliva. This surge in saliva production is a natural defense for your teeth. Not only does saliva help dilute and neutralize the acids produced by bacteria in plaque, but it also plays a key role in protecting and strengthening your enamel.
As saliva flows, it carries essential minerals like calcium and phosphate ions, which contribute to the remineralization of your enamel — helping to repair damage that might have been caused by acids from food or drink. If that weren’t enough, the presence of fluoride in your saliva can replace weaker enamel components, like magnesium and carbonate, with the much stronger fluorapatite crystals, which are more resistant to cavities.
When you drink or eat acidic foods, your tooth enamel softens temporarily. But the increased saliva flow from chewing gum helps to buffer these acids, protecting your enamel from damage.
Plus, the extra saliva produced helps clear away acid by swallowing, offering a natural protective mechanism for your teeth.
Aftergum goes even further. We’ve added a blend of powerful ingredients to take your oral care to the next level: Activated Charcoal, Xylitol, MCT Oil (medium-chain triglycerides, typically derived from coconut oil), and Hydroxyapatite (the same mineral that makes up your tooth enamel).
Aftergum is designed to boost these natural processes while freshening your breath, giving you a convenient and effective way to protect your teeth, no matter what you’ve just enjoyed.
Whether it’s your morning coffee, tea, or any other drink or food that could stain your enamel,
cause an acidic oral environment, or cause “coffee-breath”, one piece of gum can help
safeguard your smile — naturally.

a tool, not a substitute.

While aftergum provides powerful oral health benefits, it’s important to remember that it’s a tool to support your dental routine, not a replacement for it. For optimal oral health, be sure to brush your teeth twice a day, clean between your teeth daily, eat nutritious and balanced meals, limiting sugary foods and snacking, and visiting your dentist regularly for dental cleanings and examinations.
