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 neutralise 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?

WHAT SETS KAIGUM APART FROM REGULAR GUM?
Kaigum's primary ingredient is birch 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, and xylitol from poorer quality sources.
We utilize 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 (coffee, juices, smoothies etc)
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 regimen, 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 checkups (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
