Is GUM better than flossing?

Czy guma do żucia może zastąpić nić dentystyczną?  Żucie gumy przez 10 minut usuwa z jamy ustnej miliony bakterii. Jednak żucie gumy dłużej niż 10 minut uwalnia bakterie z powrotem do jamy ustnej.
Is GUM better than flossing? 10 minutes of chewing can remove 100 MILLION bacteria from your mouth, study claims.

• Researchers at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands studied the effectiveness of chewing gum
• They found in 10 minutes it removed 100 million bacteria from the mouth
• But if chewed for a long time it could release bacteria back into the gums
• It can be as effective as flossing, they say - although each targets different areas of the mouth
• They hope their research could be used to make specialist chewing gum to absorb specific disease-related bacteria.
