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?
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 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
WHAT ARE KAIGUM'S INGREDIENTS?
Xylitol (derived from birch trees), natural chicle (gum base), natural flavourings, vegetable glycerol, gum arabic & carnauba wax
IS KAIGUM VEGAN?
Yes!
IS KAIGUM BIODEGRADABLE?
Absolutely. Our chewing gum is made from tree sap which means it is fully biodegradable. They also come in pouches made from compostable vegetable resin.
IS KAIGUM SAFE WHILE PREGNANT OR BREASTFEEDING?
While pregnant or breastfeeding we always recommending first consulting with a medical professional before making any dietary changes.
As a family we have used Kaigum for the past 6 months. Along with other Xylitol mints and mouth resting, this has helped all our dental health immensely. I would recommend, tastes great and easy to carry around.
Great gum, high quality product, taste & texture are amazing.
The only downside is that it is pricey. Otherwise it ticks all the boxes
Taking trips and took everywhere i go. Chew many times. Flavour pleasant however, it goes after 10 mins and need 2-3 gum for strength. Does say what it is on the tin.
'Road trip sensation' - can we borrow this? :) Great to hear KAIGUM is part of your daily routine, especially when travelling! We keep flavours natural (no boosters), so they can feel more subtle, but the benefits continue!
Bought this about 2 weeks ago and have been using it ever day love the taste
Thanks for the review, so great to hear. Daily use is exactly how healthy habits build over time. Glad you’re enjoying the taste as well!
I’m likely indicating my age here with the above caption regarding the Carlsberg motto, but so far so good in the sense that this gum is a much needed alternative to the regular gums out there (in my experience) given it is plastic free, plant based and contains xylitol. Moreover, you feel you are actually chewing something in your mouth and it literally is designed so that you only need it for 15-20 mins or so which is a plus! So all in all - “if Carlsberg did chewing gums, Kaigum would probably be the best in the world…!”
We love the comparison — and you’re definitely not alone in remembering that motto! 😄
Thanks so much for taking the time to share your experience. We’re really glad Kaigum has been so good for you, and we truly appreciate the recommendation!
I found xylitol gum by accident in Finland itself, not realising how important it is to dental and oral health! Great to know that I can get it here in the UK, knowing that there's quality and transparency behind Kaigum. Liking the branded travel tin too!
Thanks so much for the lovely review! It's great to know you discovered the health benefits of xylitol gum and are enjoying Kaigum here in the UK. We’re on a mission to raise awareness about its dental health benefits, which are still less known outside of Finland — and we’re thrilled to have you with us!
Tried it and ordered again with no hesitation. Tastes great, very cool case that comes with and also improves my health. My family and friends love it too. Thank you for creating something that actually works and helps our planet.
I am a self-confessed chewing gum addict, always super conscious about “coffee breath”, and I’ve been looking for a while for a more natural chewing gum without artificial sweeteners that play havoc with my digestion. Thankfully I discovered Kaigum recently and I’ve been so impressed with both the flavour and the texture. I love the metal container they come with as well. The ingredients are reassuringly natural and I no longer have to worry about artificial sweeteners and plasticisers. Kaigum is chewing gum as it should be. Highly recommended!
I’ve avoided gum for years because of the sugar content and it’s amazing to find a natural alternative.
I thought I would go through a box a month but then the family started to like them, so I had to order a top to the subscription!
I love having a gum after every meal and whilst working, I’m amazed how much it helps me focus.
It’s amazing to know that there is a natural and biodegradeable gum on the market.
When I first learnt about the number of unnatural, chemical elements and plastics that exist in standard chewing gum, I wanted to know if there was any alternatives.
Kaigum is great in that it provides a refreshing taste you expect from gum, and is also made from natural resources that breakdown, not harming the environment.
Highly recommended!
I am delighted with my purchase. Instantly freshens my mouth and taste great. Really quality gum and packaging with no artificial sweeteners or chemicals. Looking forward to my next box coming.
Was never big on chewing gum, mostly due to the artificial ingredients in most brands. Decided to try Kaigum after a friend raved about it. What a surprise! The taste is spot on and the sustainable packaging is genius. Love chewing it as a snack. Hats off, Kaigum!
This is great tasting gum. Knowing you can look after your oral health with a regular guilt-free chew is really good. Smart packaging , the little reusable tin dispenser is a great idea for my desk and pocket. . And it’s all environmentally friendly too.
I had not idea chewing gum was made from plastic and was full of artificial ingredients. Love this gum not only because it's natural but also love the taste and texture. A friend gave me some normal gum the other day because I left my pack of Kaigum at home and couldn't chew it for long...definitely not going back.
Huge fan of the texture and flavour of this gum. I've been noticing an improvement in my oral health and my mouth feels fresh throughout the day. I've also found this really helps me concentrate especially when studying. Highly recommend!
Just love everything about it, tastes amazing, actually lasts longer than any other gum. Love the packaging and a metal case that is so handy. Didn’t know that gum could have so many health benefits! Great product, highly recommend to everyone and will be getting more for sure.
Bought this gum in order to chew something more that is healthier and with natural ingredients together with making sure it can be good for my teeth too. I couldn’t be more happier with the product - speedy delivery, the packaging and whole branding looks so luxurious and you even get the case for your gum! Very impressed so far and will be ordering more!
Fantastic product! :)
Recently tried Kaigum for the first time after searching for a plastic free gum with enough xylitol content to confer dental health benefits.
Kaigum is great - a satisfying texture and flavour, without the tackiness of other plastic free gums on the market.
Less one star due to the lack of oral health foundation accreditation (am interested to know if the brand are pursuing this?), and quite expensive for the amount of pieces in a pack.
Leave a fresh taste and teeth feels clean. Find it a good option mid-day when there is no access brushing teeth.
I’ve been looking for a natural alternative to plastic gum and this one is my favourite so far. The texture is good and the flavour is not too sweet but with plenty of mint. The gum does a good job of cleaning teeth after meals and lasts a long time.
The best chewing gum I’ve tried and with great benefits!
Love the taste and it lasts long. Definitely the best xylitol chewing gum I’ve tried!
On first impression, the gums look like any other chewing gum. The difference is the ingredients designed to breakdown bacteria and build up tooth protection.
