Pregnancy guidance

Limit

Sugar-sweetened chewing gum should be limited during pregnancy because it exposes teeth to continuous sugar bathed in saliva. It provides empty calories without nutritional value and can increase the risk of maternal dental caries. The USDA recommends reducing regular exposure to added sugars throughout gestation. Consider switching to sugarless chewing gum to protect oral health and freshen breath.
