Why Chew Kaigum
The foundation of any effective oral hygiene routine involves regular brushing and flossing, but this addresses only a part of our overall oral health concerns. Our day-to-day intake of foods and drinks not only fuels us, but also the bad bacteria and acids in our mouths, setting the stage for plaque and tooth decay. This is where Kaigum steps in, offering a scientifically proven solution to support your oral health after meals.
Benefits of Kaigum
Incorporating Kaigum into your post-meal routine three times a day for 10-15 minutes can lead to significant improvements in oral health. The active ingredient, xylitol, effectively reduces plaque and decay by targeting harmful bacteria. This is complemented by Kaigum's ability to neutralize damaging dental acids, while also promoting the natural restoration of vital minerals, ensuring your teeth remain strong and healthy.
Caring for the Environment
Our chewing gum uses biodegradable tree sap instead of traditional petroleum-derived polymers, offering a sustainable alternative that decomposes naturally. Sourced from the rainforests of Central America through eco-friendly practices similar to maple syrup extraction, we ensure our impact on the planet is minimal. Moreover, our commitment extends to our packaging, which is 100% plastic-free and fully compostable, aligning with our vision for a greener future.

Frequently Asked Questions
ARE KAIGUM'S HEALTH BENEFITS SCIENTIFICALLY SUPPORTED?
Yes, the health benefits attributed to Kaigum, primarily due to its xylitol content, are supported by numerous scientific studies.
These studies suggest benefits like a reduced risk of cavities, prevention of dental plaque, and the maintenance of a balanced oral pH.
For those interested in a deeper dive, our website showcases more than 80 scientific studies that support these benefits: https://kaigum.com/pages/scientific-studies.
WHAT SETS KAIGUM APART FROM REGULAR GUM?
Kaigum's primary ingredient is xylitol, which offers significant health benefits. Unlike conventional gums, which typically contain a plastic gum base, mixed with artificial flavours and cheaper sweeteners like aspartame and ace-k, Kaigum is founded on quality.
We utilise natural tree sap as our gum base, steering clear of the petroleum-derived bases commonly used in other gums.
How Should I use Kaigum?
Ensure you chew one piece of Kaigum at least three times a day for around 10-15 minutes, especially after meals and acidic drinks
WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT KAIGUM'S 100% XYLITOL CONTENT?
Chewing gum sweetened with 100% xylitol stands out due to its proven dental health benefits.
According to a review conducted by the health body of the European Commission, only gums sweetened solely with xylitol have been recognised for their ability to reduce dental plaque.
On the other hand, gums that contain xylitol but also include other sweeteners haven't received the same endorsement. By choosing 100% xylitol gum, you're optimising the dental benefits xylitol can provide.
If I use Kaigum does that mean I should stop brushing and flossing each day?
Kaigum is designed to be used in conjunction with your regular dental care regime, not to replace it.
To provide your teeth with the best protection you should ensure you continue brushing and flossing every day and have regular dental check ups (every 6-12 months)
CAN CHILDREN USE KAIGUM SAFELY?
Yes this is perfectly safe for children (even schools encourage children in Finland to chew xylitol gum). However we advise against providing chewing gum to any child under the age of 5 due to a choking risk
